150th Anniversary of Bideford station
Join us for our Gala day on Sunday 12th June !
We're open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with loco cab rides from noon to 3 p.m.
Vintage vehicles on display, operating model railway and loads of stalls for the afternoon. Make a day of it for all the family.
Travelling on and payment for the train
Only two passengers may travel at any time and children must be accompanied by an adult. Ride fares are £4 a head for both adults and children, but families with multiple children wishing to ride will not be charged again for the accompanying adult. Tickets might be available on the day but due to previous demand we strongly encourage advance booking, available by using the PayPal link below. Please leave a note with your payment stating it is for train rides and we will contact you with a time to ride.
