🛤️ Afternoon Teas & Driver Experiences The Foxfield Light Railway is one of the UK's earliest heritage railways.
(1)

🚂 One of Britain's oldest heritage industrial railways, open Sundays March-October & bank holidays and some Saturdays

🏅Award-winning days out & experiences for all. The line was built in the 1890's and unlike many lines which follow valleys, the Foxfield Railway maintains a 51⁄2 mile round journey which boldly crosses open moorland, hills and woodland. This results in spectacular sounds and sight

s from the locomotives as trains climb the steepest gradients to steam through Scenic North Staffordshire. The train currently terminates in the remote woodland halt of Dilhorne Park, at the top of Foxfield Bank, which offers unspoilt views across open moorlands where very little modern life can be seen. During special weekends demonstration coal trains on Foxfield bank recreate the colliery days of the railway and provide the spectacle of our small steam locomotives being worked very hard to climb the average 1 in 25 gradients for 3/4 of a mile.

When you book an Afternoon Tea Train experience, you’ll enjoy a table seat with a three tier stand laid out ready for you as you board the train. This includes locally sourced & and homemade goodies. Once the journey starts, our wonderful team will bring you a pot of tea to enjoy with your food. Coffee and sugar are available upon request.

The Adult Afternoon Tea includes scones, jam, cream, luxury finger sandwiches, garnish, cupcakes and macaron.

The finger sandwiches are tuna mayo, cheese and chutney, ham and mustard. If requested, we can cater for special dietary requirements.

The Children’s Afternoon Tea includes ham and cheese and cheese and tomato sandwiches, plus the same sides as the adults and a soft drink if requested.

Next Afternoon Tea trains run Sunday 7th June, 28th June, 5th July, and 19th July.

There's no Foxfield Railway without our incredibly hard working volunteers. Most of us are crazy enough to be doing this around demanding day jobs, self-employment, young families, health challenges, and yet... our volunteers all turn up, put in more than a shift, and bring the magic to every visitor's experience.

We need all of our car park attendants, shop runners, food & drink servers, cooks & pot washers, cleaners, administrators, marketers, permanent way gang, coach & wagon restorers, engine owners, trustees, board of directors, museum curators, colliery gang, gardener, event organisers, finance clerks, carpenters, painters, electricians, workshop managers, signalers, firemen, crossing keepings, RO (Responsible Officer), and more. Doing more than is asked, and doing it unseen.

We see you, we thank you. We would not be here without you. And you wouldn't be reading this.
