Join us for a special celebration of 50 years of steam on the revived West Somerset Railway.
Our 4-day steam gala will showcase a slice of the incredible variety of motive power that has graced the metals of the preserved WSR.
From Manors and Moguls to the smaller tank engines that were so important in the early years, this will be an unmissable show of what has made the WSR one of Britain’s favourite heritage railways for half a century.
