The Way We Were East Somerset Railway Visit Weston-super-Mare

About Us

Throughout this lovely weekend we celebrate rural life surrounding a county station in the 1930s – 1950s.

Attractions include war time displays and stalls.

There will be people dressed in period costume, with a singer giving you the feel of the time performing songs like 'The White Cliffs of Dover'. A truly lovely experience taking you back to a Great British era.

Enjoy riding our glorious steam train, visit our Engine Shed and Workshop, look around our shop and have something to eat in the Whistlestop Café. We will also have Driver for a Tenner and our Miniature Railway running, plus the Signal Box will be open.

The event is dog-friendly.
