Ice Skating Returns to The Bluebell Railway
13-29 October 2023.
Fire and Ice!
Come Ice Skating on real ice at Sheffield Park Station in the unique and amazing location of the Locomotive Shed. Glide across the ice and see where the locomotives are prepared in the morning before they steam through the beautiful Sussex countryside. Enjoy the interactive exhibits in SteamWorks! also in the locomotive shed.
Skate sessions are 45 mins and each session starts on the hour. Times for these sessions can be found here
As well as ice skating, the Railway will also be running our “Giants Of Steam gala weekend between the 13th to 15th October, as well as running its popular ‘Kids for a Quid’ travel offer between the 18th to 29th of October, with any child (3-15yrs) travelling for £1 when accompanied by a full fare-paying adult. (Travel tickets can be purchased with an additional charge).
Why not do both and make a full day out with us at The Bluebell Railway!
