The Spa Valley Railway has launched the Kent Evening Cheese Train which will depart on Saturday 19 July 2025 at 7pm and will return at 9.30pm from Tunbridge Wells West Station.
The Kent Cheese Train will make two return trips along the picturesque Spa Valley Railway from Tunbridge Wells West to Eridge, passing through Groombridge and High Rocks.
During the relaxing journey through the beautiful Wealden countryside passengers can enjoy a generous selection of four local cheeses arranged through a partnership with The Cheese Shop, Tunbridge Wells. The cheeses are served with a variety of Fine Cheese Co. crackers alongside Caramelised Onion Marmalade and Apricot and Ginger chutney.
A selection of appetisers and snacks including breads, olives, stuffed peppers, and grapes will be at your table along with a drink of your choice which could be either a small cider or white, red or rose wine or a soft drink.
The experience is £42 per person.
