Two days of gala fun here at the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. Pick to ride behind either our ‘Big Trains’ or our ‘Laal Trains’ and enjoy 3 relaxing return trips along the line in the same seat as we bring the engines to you!

A rare treat to make this Gala an alternative day out. You also have the opportunity to get a weekend ticket so that you can travel on both types of train! Throughout the weekend we will also have some visitors onsite including Talisman and a model railway in the museum. If you ride on one of our ‘Big Trains’, throughout the day you will travel behind River Mite, River Irt, River Esk and Whillan Beck. Meanwhile if you chose to ride on a ‘Laal Train’ your trips will be behind Katie and Perkins.

Prices Adult Day Ticket £27.00 Child Day Ticket £18.00 Adult Weekend Ticket £54.00 Child Weekend Ticket £36.00.
