Bluebell on Parade
Get ready for an action-packed weekend as we present Bluebell On Parade – a three-day gala celebrating the very best of steam!

Experience the sheer power and nostalgia of the Bluebell Railway with an intensive timetable running throughout the weekend. We’re bringing out a fantastic line-up of our home-fleet locomotives, keeping the tracks busy with frequent departures and non-stop moving history.
It’s the ultimate day out for enthusiasts and a perfect weekend for families. Best of all, our Kids for a Quid offer applies, making it an affordable way to bring the whole family along for the ride!
What to expect throughout the long weekend
- Locomotives Galore: See multiple Bluebell engines in steam and in action.
- Frequent Trains: Our intensive timetable means less waiting and more riding.
- Family Fun: From the sights and sounds of the footplate to exploring our historic stations.
