Our wonderful tearoom is open Wednesday to Sunday 9am until 3pm.  Great selection of refreshments.  Really good coffee, cakes and local chocolate to really savour - great addition to the adults Christmas stocking!  Reasonably priced breakfasts and lunches.

At present we are working hard to get Garforth Station Footbridge restored and erected on site.  At 130 years old we think it deserves to be saved as an example of our rail and engineering heritage.  The timber for the decking and steps has now arrived. Can you help - and be here for the opening.  Be on the first train under the restored bridge.  Get a Founders ticket by Donation - details here

We have a number of items for sale including steam and diesel locomotives, light aircraft and various other items.  Always worth checking our "For Sale" menu.

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.
