BCIMO Family Day

Date: 17th May, 2025

Location: Very Light Rail National Innovation Centre, Dudley

BCIMO Family Day  in celebration of Railway 200 takes place on Saturday 17 May 2025 from 10am to 4pm.

With its 175-year history on a unique site in the heart of the Black Country, which encompasses impressive early Victorian railway architecture alongside its landmark Very Light Rail National Innovation Centre, BCIMO will be celebrating the anniversary with a Family Day, welcoming visitors from across both the rail and regional communities.

In a busy day of activities, there will be  stands from local business and organisations, fairground rides and attractions, music and entertainment, and plenty of options for food and drink – there’ll even be rides into the famous Dudley Railway Tunnel! All profits from the day will be donated to four  charities: The Kaleidoscope Plus Group, Railway Children, 4Louis and Young Lives vs. Cancer.

So, if you’re passionate about all things ‘rail’, live locally and want a fun day out with the family, or just want to find out a little more about what BCIMO does. Sign up now!
