Calling all dog lovers and their four-legged friends! At Whitehead Railway Museum for a tail-wagging day out at Paws on the Platform- a fun-filled dog-themed event for the whole family.

We're delighted to welcome The Nose Zone, who will be running exciting demonstrations with their operational Scent Detection teams throughout the day. Visitors and their dogs can also take part in interactive "have-a-go" scent activities, mini training classes and enjoy the chance to chat with professional trainers at the "Ask the Dog Trainer" area.

Activities throughout the day include:

• Dog agility displays
• Doggy stalls and treats
• Fun competitions and prizes for your canine companions
• Mini dog training sessions including tricks, recall, attention work and interactive play
• Short steam train rides within the museum grounds with your pooch aboard

And while you relax with a hot drink, your furry friend can enjoy a puppacino!

Whether you're a dedicated dog enthusiast or simply looking for a unique family day out, Paws on the Platform promises plenty of fun, entertainment and pawsitive memories for everyone.
All well-behaved dogs welcome. Dogs must be kept on a lead throughout the event.
Steam train rides available throughout the day.

Come along and enjoy a paw-some day at the railway!
