The Wensleydale Railway is to celebrate the opening of Leeming Bar Station House.
Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the building has been restored to how it would have looked in the 1920s.
Visitors will have the opportunity to experience what life was like in a busy country station while being guided by volunteers in period dress.
To celebrate the opening on Mat 2, there will be music, a period steam traction engine, refreshments and family games and activities; all taking place between 10.30am and 4.30pm with a special guest arriving to open the building.
The opening includes free entry to the building and activities for all the family.
A train service will also be operating throughout the day with visitors able to step further back in time by travelling to the award-winning Scruton Station set in the early 1900s.
Over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend there will also be a model railway exhibition in the engine shed at Leeming Bar, entrance for the exhibition and bookings for train travel can be made in advance on the website at www.wensleydale-railway.co.uk
Rachael Roberts, spokesperson for Wensleydale Railway, said: ““We are proud to announce the grand opening of the Leeming Bar Station House and want to welcome you to come and celebrate with us.
“With support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the tireless work of our volunteers, the station has been transformed into something unique where you can step back in time.”
