Steam Trains to the Seaside
Mothering Sunday Special

Mothers Day Specials

 
Spend Mothering Sunday with us on 2nd March, enjoying a leisurely train ride and a delicious Somerset Cream Tea. You may start your journey from either Bishops Lydeard or Minehead, but must make sure that you are on the *16.00 steam-hauled service from Minehead, or the 16.10 steam hauled service from Bishops Lydeard, which is when your cream tea will be served to your table.

Your options for the day are as follows:

  1. Depart Bishops Lydeard at 10.40 (steam) and return from Minehead at *16.00
  2. Depart Bishops Lydeard at 12.40 (Steam) and return from Minehead at *16.00
  3. Depart Bishops Lydeard at 14.25(steam) and return from Minehead at *16.00
  4. Depart Minehead at 10.30 and return from Bishops Lydeard at *16.10 (steam)
  5. Depart Minehead at 12.30 and return from Bishops Lydeard at *16.10 (steam)
  6. Depart Minehead at 14.15 and return from Bishops Lydeard at *16.10 (steam)

* you must specify which train you would like the cream tea on when making your booking either the 16.10 out of Bishops Lydeard or the 16.00 out of Minehead

The journey between Bishops Lydeard and Minehead or vice versa (one way) takes around an hour and a quarter. There is plenty of time to stretch your legs and look around during the break between your outward and return journeys.

Seats are reserved for you on the *16.00 out of Minehead or the *16.10 out of Bishops Lydeard when your cream tea will be served and the flowers will be presented. Seats are not reserved on the other part of your journey and this may be chosen on the day itself.  

Cost £17.50 per adult
Cost £11.00 per child

This includes the return journey, cream tea and the flowers for all mothers that have been pre booked.
