Following the success of last year’s event, the Severn Valley Railway’s Singin’ on the Train is back for another unforgettable day of live music and heritage travel on Saturday 16 August.

This one-of-a-kind event combines the stirring sounds of male voice choirs with the nostalgic charm of steam and heritage diesel locomotives. Passengers can travel the line between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth, stepping off at stations along the way to enjoy live performances from seven celebrated male choirs.

Lewis Maddox, the SVR’s visitor engagement manager said:

“Throughout the day, stations along the route will come alive with music, creating a festival atmosphere that celebrates the best of choral tradition. You might also want to stop off at The Engine House at Highley, where real ales and hearty pub fare will be served in a relaxed setting overlooking the railway.

“Whether you’re a music lover, a railway enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique day out, Singin’ on the Train promises a joyful celebration of heritage and harmony.”

All-day travel is available with a Freedom of the Line ticket, or for those looking for a shorter experience, Short Journey tickets are also on offer. Standard fares apply, and tickets can be purchased in advance or on the day.

As the sun sets, the event continues with a special evening choir concert on the concourse at Kidderminster Station. All seven choirs will come together for a powerful and uplifting performance under the station’s striking glass roof. Hot food and drinks will be available throughout the evening from the award-winning King and Castle pub, just steps from the platform.

Tickets for the evening concert are bookable separately.
