# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Summer Gala
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: We’re celebrating the smallest locomotives in our home-fleet and extra special (and very little) visiting locomotives this summer!

What to expect at the Summer Gala? Our weekend rail-fest will feature both guest and home-fleet locomotives operating a busy timetable between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. If you love steam, diesel and something a little bit different, this is the place to be! Ride behind every locomotive, visit The Engine House at Highley to break your day, or sample the finest real-ales in our pubs! Download the timetable to start planning your visit.

In addition to the ‘big trains’, Kidderminster Station will host ‘little trains’ with a live-steam Gauge 1 model railway, running throughout the weekend.

Our first guest locomotive has been announced as Kerr Stuart ‘Witch’ class locomotive No 4388. Built in 1926 by Kerr, Stuart & Company, this distinctive locomotive features an unusual design with outside cylinders, no front footplate and a notably small saddle tank. Our thanks to Jack Dibnah and the Foxfield Railway, as well as Footplate of Kidderminster for sponsoring the road-haulage.

Our second guest locomotive joining the line-up is Neilson & Co No 2937, a fascinating industrial steam locomotive with a rich heritage stretching back to the Victorian era. We’re grateful to Keith Sergeant and the Chasewater Railway for the loan of the locomotive.

Our third and final guest for the Summer Gala is Hunslet Locomotive No. 3783 ‘Hollybank No 3’ and we’re grateful to Chasewater Railway for the loan of the locomotive.
