Autumn Steam Gala

One of the highlights of our 60th anniversary year is set to be the Autumn Steam Gala, when we’ll have the full line back up and running and the return of overnight trains! The date is set for Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 September 2025 and we’re looking forward to welcoming spectacular visiting locomotives to star alongside our home-fleet.

Purchase your tickets in advance and save up to 10%, or purchase on the day from station Booking Offices.

What to expect at the Autumn Steam Gala? Our four day festival of steam will feature both guest and home locomotives operating a busy timetable between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. If you and your family love steam, this is the place to be! Ride behind as many engines as you can, visit The Engine House at Highley to break your day, and sample the finest real-ales in our pubs. Perfect for those young and old, experience the Severn Valley at its steamiest!
