Day of Dance
Saturday 25 July.
Get ready for a toe-tapping day of dance on the Severn Valley Railway as we welcome Morris Dancing groups to perform at stations along the line.
What to expect at Day of Dance: our celebration of traditional dance accompanies a busy service of steam and diesel trains operating between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. Jump on the train and travel to our stations for a spot of bell ringing, hanky waving and stick bashing, as Morris Dancers from across the country perform throughout the day.
Alongside the dancing, there’s so much to see, do and discover on a day out at the Severn Valley Railway, including FREE ENTRY to The Engine House Visitor Centre (open 10.45am – 4.30pm, last entry 4pm). Alight at Highley Station and then its just a short walk to The Engine House where you can get close to some very special locomotives, including ‘Gordon’ the blue engine, and take a peek through the windows of King George VI’s royal carriage. There’s an outdoor play area, café, gift shop and plenty to keep everyone occupied.
The trains stop at all of our intermediate stations, so you can get off to explore Bewdley, Arley, Highley and Hampton Loade. Find out more about our stations and what to do. At Kidderminster and Bridgnorth, the trains take a short break, so you can see the locomotives up close.
