Halloween fun on steam railway trains

There’s plenty of spine tingling tricks and treats for the whole family during Halloween at Tenterden’s Steam Railway.

The Kent & East Sussex Railway’s Halloween Fun Week runs from Tuesday to Thursday, October 25 to 27.

Attractions include pumpkin carving and face-painting and all activities are included in the ticket price which includes unlimited journeys between Tenterden and Bodiam Station on the steam and diesel trains.

Family TravelCards are £38 and can be purchased for either two adults and two children or one adult and three children. Adult TravelCards are £17 and children (3-15) can travel for £11.50. A special timetable will operate during October’s half term school break.

On Friday, October 28 the brave can take a ride on the Fright Night Express.

Be greeted with the beat of Drum Skullz and entertained by the Fire breather. Once on board, be prepared to be frightened silly with ghostly goings on at stations with a firework display and a few surprises along the way.

Fares for Fright Night are £17 for adults and children, with visitors urged to come in fancy dress.
