The festival, which has previously been named South Devon Railway 1940s Weekend, has been held at Buckfastleigh Station for many years. The show has grown and developed greatly and now boasts a large amount of displays, vehicles, trade stands, entertainment and atmosphere that you won’t find anywhere else!

Refreshments are available at all of our stations and even on some of our trains! A Bar is available by the Entertainment Marquee and at Staverton Station, as well as on some of our trains, and will be serving a selection of Beers, Ciders and Wine.

Our Routemaster ’bus will be working the usual Rail Replacement Service to Buckfast Abbey, Ashburton and Buckfastleigh.
