Popular model railway manufacturer Hornby has teamed up with Trainmaster, a train-themed children’s entertainment company, to capture young children’s imagination through immersive experiences.

Trainmaster was set up in 2018 by former, secondary school English teacher, Chloe Cotton.

The company got off to a fantastic start and soon established itself as a franchise, supplying families with hands-on activities and entertainment running events and parties in 25 counties in the UK.

Hornby’s well-loved Playtrains products which are aimed at children aged 3+ have now become part of Trainmaster’s events and parties, providing them with a wonderful opportunity to play with trains themselves whilst introducing the delightful and inspiring world of model railways.

Playtrains offer a huge choice of trains which inspire imaginative play.

Hornby and Trainmaster will celebrate their new partnership by taking part in the family-friendly Gloworm Festival, which takes place at Thoresby Park in Nottinghamshire from the 11th to the 13th of August. Festivalgoers will enjoy an unforgettable experience as both Hornby and Trainmaster unite their expertise.

Working together, Hornby and Trainmaster will see an array of future events as part of the collaboration supporting both companies’ passion for trains and creativity whilst bringing an enormous amount of joy to both children and, no doubt, parents across the country.
