We’re starting out 2022 season with a special Open House Weekend where we throw our doors open and take you behind the scenes to see how the Severn Valley Railway works! Remember, pre-booked tickets save against tickets purchased on the day. When booking Open House Weekend ticket, select Day Tickets and then either Saturday 2nd or Sunday 3rd April

There’ll be a whole host of things to see, do, discover and explore during our Open House Weekend across the full length of the line including:

  • A four train service, with three steam engines and a diesel engine scheduled
  • Signal Box tours at Kidderminster and Bewdley
  • Brake Van Rides at Highley
  • Boilershop and Machining Workshop Tours at Bridgnorth
  • Vintage bus services to Eardington Halt to see the station building and the famous lamp room (Sunday only)
  • Interactive demonstrations from resident stonemason Philip Chatfield
