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 30 ciders and a huge variety of cheeses to choose from.
If you can’t decide on just one cheese there are 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.
Live Music on both days - details to follow
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.
