Bredgar's Golden Anniversary - Sunday 1st June 2025

This June we are having a Steam Up Party to celebrate 50 years of Bredgar Railway. Our first engine, Bronhilde was brought to Bredgar in 1975 and we've been expanding and running monthly steam days ever since.   More information.

We're running steam engine passenger rides, the engine shed is open exhibiting all our locos, vehicles and engines as well as the large model railway.

The band 'Loose Change' are with us for the afternoon with their fantastic live music - Come dressed in 70s attire if you wish!

For the children there'll be garden games, tractor and trailer rides, a colouring station, train play table, teddy bear treasure hunt and a Best Dressed Teddy Competition! Extra points if your teddy is dressed in 70s clothes!

Open 10am-4pm (first train from 11am), make sure you book online for the best ticket price.

  • Online tickets can be bought up to the day before. Tickets are also available on the gate at the standard price.

What we do

At Bredgar we have restored many long since abandoned industrial vehicles and machines to their former glory, some are better than original and now benefit from a new lease of life.
