Steam Gala
Saturday 24 & Sunday 25 October
Our 2026 Steam Gala is taking place on 24 and 25 October. To mark the occasion, an intensive four-train timetable will run with 12 departures on Saturday and 11 on Sunday, featuring rare dusk running for the first time in many years.
Visiting Locomotives & Twinning Celebration
Alongside the home fleet, visiting guest engines will join the roster.
Announcement 1 - 08/09/26
The first confirmed guest is Decauville No. 246 of 1897 Victory, courtesy of the Bredgar and Wormshill Light Railway. Built in France, Victory plays a central role in this year's special theme: celebrating the 25th anniversary of the railway's twinning with the P'tit Train de la Haute Somme. Expect a variety of themed activities across the weekend honoring this French connection.
