Spring Diesel Festival
Thursday 13 – Sunday 16 May 2027
The annual Spring Diesel Festival returns – the biggest diesel event around, so make a note of the dates in your diary – Thursday 13 – Sunday 16 May 2027.
What to expect at the Spring Diesel Festival? Our four day diesel festival will feature both guest and home-fleet 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!
First guest announcement is that Deltic D9015 Tulyar will be joining us care of the Deltic Preservation Society.
We’ll be adding more detail to this page a bit closer to the event.
