Winter Steam Gala
Saturday 2 – Sunday 3 January 2027
The Winter Steam Gala returns on the first weekend in January 2027 care of the SVR home-fleet.
What to expect at the Winter Steam Gala? Our two day festival of steam will feature home-fleet locomotives operating a busy timetable between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. Our heritage carriages will be steam heated and the engines are sure to be working hard! If you and your family love steam, this is the place to be! Ride behind every locomotive, visit The Engine House at Highley to break your day, and sample the finest real-ales in our pubs.
The gift shops, cafes and kiosks will also be open selling food and drinks, and The Engine House is open from 10.45am-4.30pm (last entry 4.00pm).
We will be adding more detailed information a bit closer to the date.
