It’s our birthday this weekend!

Bluebell Railway turned 60 years old in 2020, so come and join us for our belated diamond 60 Plus 1 anniversary event from 6 – 8 August 2021.

This year, they mark the occasion with a 3-day long weekend of festivities that will appeal to the whole family.

Help celebrate their achievements from over the past 60 years with a packed weekend of displays, activities, music, festivities and, of course, steam engines.

Ever wondered how a heritage railway works? Meet the volunteers and get special behind the scenes guided tours of our workshops and other staff only areas!

Let them transport you back in time to the golden age of steam as the Railway presents 60 years of Bluebell. Experience intensive steam hauled passenger services along the line and activities at Sheffield Park, Kingscote, East Grinstead and at Horsted Keynes Station.

All our stations will be open for this event and a busy timetable will be running. Why not travel up and down the line, hop on and off at any of our stations, and enjoy all the Bluebell Railway has to offer!
