Winter Steam Festival   29 & 30 December 2014
Steam through the wintery West Somerset countryside
WSR

The Winter Steam Festival is the perfect way to relax and unwind and let off steam after the hectic Christmas period - and normal standard fares apply!

The event promises to be a fantastic feast of winter steam - from the locomotives and the atmospheric steam heating in the carriages.

Enjoy a lovely warm trip through the countryside, whatever the weather...
