🚂🎷🍻 OUR UPCOMING SUMMER GALA IS FOR EVERYONE! (19–21 JUNE 2026)
Our ‘Extreme Steam Extravaganza’ is fast approaching and while a 1-Day or 3-Day Rover Ticket offers the ultimate gala experience with unlimited travel on event trains, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the weekend!
🚂 Firstly, there’s no charge to visit Porthmadog Harbour Station during the gala and there will be plenty happening across all three days. The Station’s platforms and Spooner's Beer Garden will be a buzz of activity, providing excellent vantage points to watch an array of unusual train formations, rare locomotive combinations and fascinating shunting movements as the railway comes alive for one of the year's biggest events… cameras at the ready!
🚘 The Harbour Station car park will host a display of 38 classic vehicles across the weekend, representing more than 60 years of motoring history. Highlights include a 1951 Citroën Traction, Triumph Stag, Daimler XJ6 and a preserved Bedford OB bus.
🎷 On Saturday afternoon (14:45–15:45), musical entertainment will be provided by the Oakeley Silver Band, performing a varied programme of well-known favourites and unexpected selections!
🖼️ We're also hosting a free Mini Model Railway Show at Y Gweithdy, Minffordd, from 10:00–16:00 on Saturday and Sunday. The show features Portmadoc 1961, a Boston Lodge-inspired layout created by a talented 12-year-old modeller, a classic Hornby Dublo display and Porthdeen, a compact N gauge Cornish layout.
Visitors can also discover traditional railway signwriting, learn about volunteering opportunities, browse railway-themed artwork by Ben Powell and visit the Flower Power fundraising and second-hand book stalls. Easily accessed by train from Porthmadog, our Mini Model Railway show has something for enthusiasts, modellers and families alike!
🍺 On Saturday evening, visitors can head to Tan-y-Bwlch for our ‘Iron Stein Summer Oktoberfest’ (19:00–22:00) as the station is transformed into a German-style beer hall with communal tables, flowing lager, live music and a three-course German-inspired meal! Entry is £20 per person, including food, with tickets available on the door.
Regular shuttle trains will operate between Porthmadog and Tan-y-Bwlch on Saturday evening. Travel is included for Saturday Event Rover and 3-Day Rover holders, while non-event ticket holders can purchase a return shuttle ticket for £29.
