The Bala Lake Railway has confirmed that it is hosting a virtual steam gala this June, and has released a downloadable guide for the event.

The first of a kind gala for the BLR will be held on the 13th June 2020 over on the railway’s Facebook page.

Four and a half hours of narrow gauge steam footage will be posted on the Facebook page, with all home fleet and a variety of visitors in operation.

You can help fuel yourself for the gala by purchasing some of the virtual items available on the BLR’s shop by clicking here.

All proceeds from the gala will go towards their COVID-19 Appeal to help the BLR through the Coronavirus pandemic, with no trains currently running and no passenger income.

We’ve trawled through a huge number of contributions that were sent in to bring you over four and a half hours of quality video on the day.”
