It's Darlington Brick Show this weekend…

We’re absolutely thrilled by the response of ticket sales. The event is now fully sold out and we do not have any walk-up tickets available for Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st May.

To keep everything running smoothly (and safely), if you don’t already hold a ticket for this weekend, we kindly ask that you do not travel to site. This also applies if you were hoping to visit Hopetown without attending the LEGO event, as the site will be at full capacity.

We know it’s a bit of a brick wall to hit if you missed out – thank you for understanding 🙏

We’ll be back open as usual from Tuesday, and the good news is… Darlington Brick Show will return next year! 🎉

VOLUNTEER

Meet people, make a difference, and get involved in telling the story of Darlington's pioneering railway heritage.

Volunteer with Hopetown Darlington

Hopetown Darlington is not currently recruiting volunteers, but if you're interested in volunteering to support railway heritage, please consider the Stockton & Darlington 26 Mile Railway Heritage Project.

This fantastic project is separate from Hopetown Darlington, and provides amazing opportunities, including events, maintenance, youth engagement, and more.

Volunteer as part of the Stockton & Darlington Railway Heritage Project

An award from The National Lottery Heritage Fund has enabled a community engagement programme to celebrate the Stockton & Darlington Railway (S&DR).

The project is delivering a comprehensive activity plan along the 26 miles of the S&DR as well as a programme of small grants to empower communities along the line to organise their own events and projects.

Volunteering opportunities include the recruitment of Volunteer Ambassadors who will promote S&DR in their own communities and organise their own events, as well as themed volunteering groups, such as station gardeners and repair and maintenance teams, supporting events and activities, youth engagement projects and intergenerational volunteering.

Ready to volunteer for the S&DR?

The S&DR team can't wait to hear from you
