All aboard for an exciting creative adventure! Join us for Animation Station!, where young creators will embark on real railway journeys and create their own animated films inspired by their experiences.
Your adventure begins with a research trip using GWR trains, exploring the fantastic "Sea Moor City" destinations accessible from Exeter. Experience the joy of local rail travel while discovering new places and possibilities, then transform these real journeys into your own unique animated film!
Once you’ve been on your adventure, it’s time to get animating! Working alongside professional filmmakers and animators you'll try out a range of animation techniques and get hands on with creative storytelling.
Part of Railway History
Your animated film will contribute to the GWR Railway 200 celebration, making you part of a historic milestone celebrating two centuries of railway heritage, and your finished animation will be screened as part of Two Short Nights Film Festival in 2026!
