Next Public Running will be Sunday 6th September

11am to 4pm

On our running day in August the weather was dry and warm - like every day for the last three months. There was a lovely mix of regular attendees and new vistors, and everyone was in particularly good humour - I think 'no school tomorrow' was part of it - and you all appeared to enjoy yourselves. Hopefully we can have more the same for our September run. I have to record that the unicorn donkey was my favouring toy animal travelling partner of the day.

We will be running on the first Sunday in the month from 11:00 for September and October, before our legendary Halloween event on Saturday 31st October. We'd love to see you.

Further details of our public running, including dates and prices are here.

Members' and Visitors' Running Days 2026

The club has running days where any member of the club can run their railway, traction or stationary engine at our facilities. The aim of the day is to run, enjoy, socialise and show models to other club members. Unfortunately these events are not open to the public due to restrictions on our insurance policy.

Members of other clubs are welcome to attend any members' day throughout the year. Boiler certificates will be required. Please get in contact if you wish to run from another club to let us know to expect you (and to make sure we have enough tea and biscuits).

Members day running is usually from about 10am to 5pm.
