On Father’s Day (Sunday 21 June 2015) the Kent & East Sussex Railway in Tenterden has a real treat in store for Dads.
Choose to start the day with a hearty breakfast in the restaurant with a special railway gift mug before boarding the train to enjoy a return steam train ride from Tenterden to Bodiam Station. Or choose to book your journey to include a delicious plougmans lunch or cream tea while on board one of our vintage steam trains. This will be served to your reserved table and will also include a railway glass tankard.
All the Father’s Day options are just £27.50 for Dads. Other passengers will need to purchase food and travel tickets separately when booking.
The Kent & East Sussex railway stretches over 10 ½ miles between Tenterden and Bodiam stations and visitors of all ages will love the excitement of travelling on one of the country’s finest rural light railways.
Relax on board and enjoy some quality time with dad, as you take in the beautiful scenery of the surrounding countryside, interrupted only by the gentle chug of the steam engine.
There will be a choice of two trains from Tenterden Station for the Father’s Day treat departing at 1:20pm and 3:40pm. Dads can choose to enjoy either a delicious homemade ploughmans lunch or a cream tea on either train.
Due to the event’s popularity, pre booking is essential – please visit www.kesr.org.uk or telephone 01580 765155.
