Cider & Cheese Festival
A regular fixture now in the Railway’s events calendar, the Cider & Cheese weekend is always a huge hit with visitors. There are over 25 ciders and a huge variety cheeses to choose from.
If you can’t decide on just one there are cheese platters to pick with crunchy pickles and crackers which are washed down perfectly with a pint of cider - it’s the perfect way to while away an early autumn afternoon.
See HERE for our list of ciders and cheeses available during our 2021 festival - details for our 2022 event will be published nearer the weekend.
Bars from 11 am until 5pm and entry to the event is absolutely FREE! If you wish to board the steam train, usual operating day fares apply.
