Join the superheroes on board the SuperTrain at Downpatrick on Saturday 2nd May – can your little heroes help save the Hulk?
Hulk, the strongest hero alive has been brainwashed and his immense strength has turned against the very heroes he once fought beside. He wants to take over the railway, and there’s no telling what havoc he’ll unleash without help from your little heroes.
Hop aboard the SuperTrain, team up with Spider-Man and friends for this action-packed family adventure full of teamwork, courage and heart, and help save the day. Costumes are encouraged, courage is required!
