Put on your glad rags, polish those dancing shoes, and get ready to swing the night away! Step back in time for an unforgettable evening straight out of the fabulous forties on Saturday 12th September 2026!
Join us for a spectacular night of music and dancing on the platform at Minehead Station, transformed for one very special occasion. Spaces are limited, and with a maximum capacity on the platform, tickets are expected to sell fast—so be sure to book early to avoid missing out!
We’re thrilled to announce our headline act: The Deane Big Band, bringing the timeless sounds and infectious energy of the swing era to life.
The gates open at 7.00 pm, with dancing and festivities continuing until 11.00 pm.
A fully stocked bar will be available throughout the evening, and the café will be serving a selection of light refreshments.
Please note that there will be no train service to the dance, so guests are kindly asked to arrange their own transport.
Dust off your finest vintage attire and prepare for an evening of music, laughter, and dancing beneath the station lights—we can’t wait to see you there!

Due to the extreme temperatures forecast for Wednesday 12th August, we have made the difficult decision to suspend all our afternoon services (where the temperature is forecast to be hottest) for the safety of our passengers, staff and volunteers.
As a result, the following services will not operate:
Minehead to Bishops Lydeard
Bishops Lydeard to Minehead
This decision has been made with passenger, staff and volunteer welfare as our highest priority. The forecast extreme heat also presents increased risks to our railway infrastructure, and we believe the risks associated with operating these services are too high.
All passengers who had pre-booked tickets for Wednesday 12th August have been contacted by email. If you have a booking for Wednesday and have not received an email from us, please contact our team at [email protected].
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
