Autumn Diesel Bash
Thursday 1 – Sunday 4 October
The annual Autumn Diesel Bash returns in October!
What to expect at the Autumn Diesel Bash? Our four day diesel festival will feature locomotives operating a busy timetable between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. If you love diesel, 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, as you experience the Severn Valley at its loudest!
We have put together a small range of special Autumn Diesel Bash Merchandise for this event, featuring four of the stars of the show. Items can be ordered for home delivery, or you can now pre-order and collect from Kidderminster Shop during the event.
Our station cafes and kiosks will be open during the event selling refreshments. Food and drink opening times.
