About This Event

Featuring a mix of history and excitement, this night out offers guests a chance to experience a grand Victorian atmosphere at the Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway. Whether you're looking for an immersive cultural event or simply enjoy a fun day with friends, there's something for everyone in this vibrant setting.

Step back in time and enjoy a day of Victorian fun to celebrate 150 years of the R&ER carrying passengers.

To celebrate the exact date of the 150th anniversary of the first passengers to travel on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway back in 1876, we’re inviting you to join us for a fun-filled Victorian themed day at the Ravenglass Railway Museum. Travel back in time and break out your best Victorian outfits when you hop on board for a day of fun for all ages.

Your exclusive ticket also guarantees you a seat on a train reserved just for you – our Victorian guests.

This is a special event with all ticket proceeds going to support the Ravenglass Railway Museum (Registered Charity No 1217185). Your donations enable us to engage with audiences of all ages and tell the story of the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and its surrounding industry and communities for generations to come.
