To keep our customers safe, each family group will be seated in separate compartments.

Please select a carriage and then click on an available compartment.

Choose your first seat and you'll then notice that all the remaining seats in that compartment become highlighted, so that no one else can book them.

Then, just choose the different tickets you need for each of your group from the drop down lists.

For any spare seats simply choose the option 'seat not required'

Please note that we operate our heritage diesel trains on Saturdays and Steam on Sundays.

This is a Murder Mystery event suitable for people aged 15 or over 

Guests gather on the platform for the first part of the performance before boarding the train.  During the main course the actors will divulge clues and aid in your deliberations.  The second part of the performance will either take place on the train or the platform (depending on weather conditions) and dessert will be served.  Finally you will dis-embark and reveal who you think did the crime.

Children travel free on this special weekend if they bring their teddy bear!  Bring them along, and the rest of the family, for a great day out.

You’ll need to reserve your seats on a specific train and time.  We’re still planning on seating family groups of bubbles in separate compartments or tables away from other passengers to help keep everyone safe.  Once onboard you’ll enjoy a 50 minute ride on one of our steam-hauled trains.

There will be hand sanitiser available when you arrive as well as onboard the train, and our volunteers will be cleaning the train between journeys too (we’ve increased the gap between train times to help us achieve this safely).

Before or after your train ride you’ll be able to enjoy face painting, balloon modelling and family entertainment on Bitton Station.  More details will be announced as restrictions are eased and it’s clearer which activities are possible.  But, most importantly of all, you’ll have a great time with us!

Join us as we turn back the clock to the 1940s.  Enjoy vintage military vehicles, Home Front displays and wartime entertainment.  Plus our steam train rides throughout the day.

Under expert tuition you’ll be given an introduction to our Class 31 diesel locomotive and safety briefing before taking to the loco to learn the skills involved.  Then, you’ll take the controls and drive the locomotive yourself, hauling a rake of passenger coaches.  You’ll also act as secondman on one of the journeys.

Light refreshments will be provided.

At the end of your time with us you’ll receive a commemorative certificate and gift pack of information about the railway.  You’ll also receive a year’s membership to the Avon Valley Railway.
