Spa Valley Railway has released further details of its first Real Ale and Cider Train of 2023, which will leave Tunbridge Wells West for Eridge on Saturday 25 March. The event will take place again on Saturday 17 June, Friday 4 August and Saturday 5 August 2023.
Hop on board the Real Ale Train to enjoy a pint or a few whilst travelling through the beautiful High Weald countryside. Ale from local breweries and cideries from Kent and the surrounding counties will be available on each train. Regular breweries include Westerham, Cellar Head, Harvey’s, Pig and Porter, and High Weald. Some beers and ciders from other parts of the United Kingdom will feature, but most are from Kent.
The on-board experience lasts for approximately two and a half hours, and the bar carriage will also offer a selection of hot beverages, soft drinks and snacks for purchase during the journey.
The price is £15 per person to travel in one of the open carriages. All tickets include a free first pint per person.
Tunbridge Wells West station is located a pleasant fifteen-minute walk from the mainline station on the line between Tonbridge and Hastings, so Spa Valley Railway suggests that visitors enjoy some of the pubs along the historic High Street and Pantiles on their way to and from the station.
