About This Event

Step back in time and join us for a very special Steam Running Day — with fish and chips thrown in for good measure.

Your journey begins at Ruddington Fields station, where our steam locomotive will be waiting at the platform, ready to take you on a memorable round trip through the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside.

We'll head south along the line, passing through the rural landscapes that made the Great Central Railway so beloved, before arriving at Loughborough's Brush Works — a fascinating piece of industrial heritage in its own right. Here we'll pause briefly, giving passengers a chance to soak in the atmosphere before we begin the return leg back to Ruddington Fields.

Throughout the journey, we'll be serving up a classic fish and chip supper — freshly prepared and delivered to your seat, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride in true heritage railway style.

Whether you're a lifelong steam enthusiast or simply looking for a unique evening out, this is an event not to be missed.

Tickets are limited — early booking is strongly advised.
