General Volunteer

Mizens Railway is a passenger-carrying miniature railway situated in a delightful 10-acre wooded site near Woking in Surrey operating on a track gauge of 7¼ inches.  Mizens Railway takes its name from its original location at Mizens Farm, where the headquarters of McLaren is now located.  We moved to our present site in 2000 and held our official opening there in May 2002.

We are open to the public for our running days every Sunday in the summer and also run special events throughout the year, including our very popular Santa Specials. 

The railway is owned by Woking Miniature Railway Society Ltd and the entire operation is run by volunteer members.  

Help keep our Railway on track! We are currently looking for volunteers who can help with various tasks to help run and maintain the Railway.  Volunteering options include gardening, maintenance of track and stock, groundwork, infrastructure, administration, environmental areas and social activity.

Sunday volunteering - We welcome volunteers on Sundays, particularly during our operating season from Easter through to the end of September. These roles mainly involve helping with the running of the trains, so an interest in railways or heritage transport would be beneficial.

We are also happy to take on Junior Members (under 18), with the same requirement that they have an interest in supporting railway operations.

What skills do I need?

No specific skills needed to volunteer with us.
