Father’s Day Weekend at Lappa Valley

20th & 21st June 2026 | Events

All Aboard for a Father's Day Weekend to Remember!

Father’s Day is the 21st June, and if you’re looking for a way to spend proper time together as a family, we’d love to welcome you on board at Lappa Valley.

Whether Dad’s a big kid at heart, a railway enthusiast, or simply happiest when the family is all together, Lappa Valley is a wonderful place to make the day feel a little bit special.

From train rides and adventure golf to outdoor play, swan pedalos, indoor soft play and a relaxed bite to eat in The Engine Shed, there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy at their own pace.

On Father’s Day itself, we’ll have steam locomotives working the Main Railway, carrying families from Benny Halt into our Secret World of Play and Trains.

We’ve also got a few extra Father’s Day treats and gift ideas to share, including something rather special for steam-loving dads – you’ll find more on those further down this email.

Pre-booking is highly recommended for Father’s Day weekend, especially as it’s always a popular one for family days out.

So whether you’re planning a day out this weekend, or looking for a Father’s Day gift that gives Dad something brilliant to look forward to, we’d love to help make this Father’s Day one to remember.

Book your Father’s Day visit or discover our Father’s Day gift ideas below.
