About this festival

A gathering of fine ales and ciders this Spring!
Do you love Real Ale or Cider and cannot wait until our festival in October?

Well, we have a treat in store for you this Friday, 20th to Sunday, 22nd March, as our first ever Spring Ales Festival takes place in our Engine Shed at Tunbridge Wells West, in aid of our Broom Lane Bridge Appeal!

There will be 90 ales and 30 ciders on offer, plus live bands performing on the stage for a fantastic atmosphere amongst the trains.

This event is on a smaller scale than the festival we hold each October (tickets can be booked now for the big event) and is in aid of our Broom Lane Bridge Appeal. Entry to our main bar at Tunbridge Wells West is FREE; you do not need to buy a train ticket unless you wish to ride down the line.

As the bridge across Broom Lane will be replaced during this event, trains won't be travelling along the whole line, but every pint you purchase will be reinvested in Broom Lane Bridge! Groombridge and Eridge stations will be closed, but Tunbridge Wells West and High Rocks will be open.
