Join us as the much-loved Autumn Steam Weekend returns to mark a special milestone — 50 years of the WSR in preservation. We’re delighted to welcome an exciting lineup of visiting and home fleet locomotives, making this a must-see event for steam enthusiasts and families alike.
Across all three days, an intensive timetable will keep the action moving, giving you plenty of opportunities to explore our beautifully preserved stations, ride behind iconic engines, and take in the stunning autumn scenery along England’s longest heritage railway. From the rolling Quantock Hills to the Somerset coast, trains will be running from early morning into the evening.
The whole railway comes alive for the weekend, with museums, heritage displays, and model railways open throughout — perfect for visitors of all ages. And with steam engines against a backdrop of autumn colour, don’t forget your camera!
Ticket information: Advance ticket sales close at 10am the day before travel to allow time for preparations. After this point, tickets will need to be purchased on the day at one of our booking offices.

PURCHASING YOUR TICKETS INSTRUCTIONS FOR MULTIPLE DAYS
You have the option of a 2 day, 3 day or 4 day ticket.
When purchasing a multi day ticket, the system will add the first day automatically according to which 'Book Now' button you select. For example if you select the 'Book Now' button next to 25th September, 25th September will be added to your booking. You then need to select the type of multi day ticket you require: a two day, three day or four day rover.
Once you have selected which multi day ticket you require, you will then be required to select each additional day you wish to travel. Please remember, one day has already been added when you added the item to your basket. You must add each day individually to your ticket. Please make sure you check that you have not accidentally selected the same day twice and have booked for the correct days.
If you have any issues booking your tickets please feel free to contact us either by email via [email protected] or by phone on 01643 704996 and we will be more than happy to help you.

WRISTBANDS
Wristbands will be issued for each day you travel for adults and children. These will need to be collected on your first day's travel from either Bishops Lydeard or Minehead station only. There is also an option to collect your wristbands early from Minehead Station only and these will be available from Monday 21st September 2026.
Due to difficulty sending wristbands to other locations across the railway, we will be unable to have your wristbands for collection from any other station.
You can indicate whether you wish to collect from Minehead or Bishops Lydeard at the check out stage of making your booking.
