Wensleydale Railway will hold interactive on-train family events called "Herriot Winter" based on the All Creatures Great and Small books next month.

The events will take place on the heritage railway, in conjunction with PNP Events Ltd, on February 18 and 19.

During the train ride from Bedale to Leyburn and back, a collection of actors will play out a number of cameos based on the All Creatures Great and Small books as the train travels through the dale they made famous.
