What's On - Events and Activities

A day at Severn Valley Railway is more than a single train ride. You can board a heritage service, watch the countryside roll past, then break your journey at stations and visitor stops along the line.

The most flexible option is Freedom of the Line, which lets you travel all day and decide where to stop. Highley is a popular family stop because The Engine House is free to enter on operating days and there is also outdoor space nearby.
