A host of local artisans are gathering for the Severn Valley Railway’s Spring Gift Fayre on the weekend of 14 and 15 March at The Engine House, Highley.

Dozens of stalls will be arranged alongside the full-size locomotives on display, in the stunning surroundings of the SVR’s visitor centre, with local and hand-made goods on sale.

Combined with a restful journey on board a heritage steam- or diesel-hauled train, and with spring in the air, it’s set to be the perfect day out.

The Engine House will be open with free entry from 10.45am to 4.30pm on both days, with last entry at 4pm. Parking at the Engine House is very limited so the best way to get there is by heritage train, using either a ‘Freedom of the Line’ or a Short Journey ticket.
