The first locomotive may have been built in 1804, but it took until the launch of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825 for the journey towards the train travel we know and love today to begin. To mark the occasion, County Durham and Tees Valley is going full steam ahead on a programme of events running between March and November, with public art commissions, exhibitions, performances, talks and more, with the full programme still to be announced.<\/p>\n<p>To mark the official anniversary on 27 September, a newly renovated replica of Locomotion No. 1, the passenger carriage \u2018Experiment\u2019 and coal waggons will run along the sections of the original line between 26-28 September, but any one of the SD&amp;R200 celebrations offers a great reason to visit England in 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sdr200.co.uk\/\">sdr200.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/inspiration\/best-walks-county-durham\/\">4 of the best walks in County Durham<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-sidebar-content\" data-ad=\"in_content_1\"><div id=\"wak-acf-block-397187\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-content-layout-default wak-acf-block-advert wak-ad-in_content_1\" data-placement-id=\"63376\" data-advert-visible=\"1\">\n    \n    <div class=\"wak-advert-container\">\n        \n            <div id=\"div-gpt-ad-63376\">\n                <script>\n                    googletag.cmd.push(() => { \n                        googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-63376'); \n                    });\n                <\/script>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"wak-acf-block-154869\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">2.

Moving from city to city every four years, the designation will see Bradford host a series of culture-led festivities over the next 12 months. The schedule is jam-packed with theatre shows, comedy nights, exhibitions and more, with more than 1,000 performances planned, giving you plenty of reasons to visit the city (and England) in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Bradford\u2019s National Science and Media Museum, which has just reopened after renovations, will host a few of the highlights, including an exhibition for Bradford-born artist David Hockney as well as an immersive experience created for the city by artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast. Other must-sees include the city\u2019s new dining hub Darley Street Market and the pop-up arts venue Loading Bay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bradford2025.co.uk\/\">bradford2025.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-651073\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">3.
