Trainmaster Kent and Surrey is pulling into Swanscombe on Saturday with a giant toy train track, fancy dress, crafts and more.

Run by Laura Wood, a mum to two train-mad children, and Chloe Cotton, the event promises a fun and relaxed entertainment for children and toddlers, and even includes a ride-on train.

Trainmaster runs play sessions around the UK and was first set up in Hampshire by Chloe.

Coming from Gillingham, Laura was fed up of travelling as far as Hampshire in order to satisfy four-year-old Arabella and six-year-old Lucas' love for trains, and decided to take Trainmaster closer to home.

Laura, 36, said: "Lucas is absolutely train crazy.

"In the cold months there's not much we can actually do to keep him and his sister entertained.

"There's soft play, but it can all be a bit overwhelming.

"So I decided that I'd do it myself! I'd bring Trainmaster to Kent."

The entire set up takes two hours to complete with Laura providing over 100 mechanical trains to be played with.

Due to high demand, Laura is also looking for a new larger venue in Dartford.

Currently able to cater for 30 children per session, Laura hopes the new year will see more events and bigger venues.

Tickets to the events cost £7 each, with parents and babies entering free of charge.

Swanscombe's event will take place on Saturday, January, 4 between 11.20am and 1.30pm at 1st Galley Hill Scout Group, 110 Church Road, DA100HJ
