Hopetown Turns Two!
Can you believe it, Hopetown celebrates its second birthday this summer!
The last two years have been a blur of incredible heritage, exciting events and surprising stories! We've celebrated the 200th Anniversary of the first passenger railway journey, we've won ten prestigious visitor attraction awards, we've had a royal visit, and, most importantly of all, we've welcomed over 360,000 visitors!
Come and help us celebrate to beginning of our THIRD year with a day of fun, laughter and excitement!
We'll have a climbing wall here for the day and a Bubbleologist roaming the site.
