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.
