First full event of 2025. See the carpet of Bluebells in the woods on Sunday 4th May.
Our first full event day is our “welcome to the start of summer”. Our woods are covered in a show of bluebells and make quite a sight. We have at least two steam locomotives pulling passenger trains as well as diesels. Tractor and trailer rides around the fields alongside demonstrations of log splitting and cutting driven by tractors old and new. Stationary engines with a selection of water pumps, kindling machines, generators and the like. We expect our Garrett traction engine and the Aveling-Barford steam roller to be in steam that day.
N.B. The weather and moisture in the fields may cause some activities to be changed or curtailed.
Bredgar Railway’s Golden Anniversary Celebration on Sunday 1st June.
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.
Join us from 10am, 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. In the main field we have a good selection of visiting exhibits to commemorate the day, featuring a ceremony to mark the occasion.
The band Loose Change are with us for the afternoon and into the evening with their fantastic live music, there’s a bar, a hog roast and dancing!
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!
