Steam Footplate Taster Day at The Bluebell Railway – the perfect Christmas gift!
Looking for a unique Christmas gift? Treat your loved ones to an unforgettable experience with our Steam Footplate Taster Day, with dates now available for February 2025!
Step back in time and feel the power of a working steam locomotive as you climb aboard the footplate, right alongside the driver and fireman. Learn the ropes, shovel coal into the firebox, and feel the heat as you help drive one of our beautifully restored steam engines.
Ideal for railway enthusiasts or anyone seeking an extraordinary day out, this hands-on experience offers a thrilling glimpse into the golden age of steam.
Whether it’s the excitement of firing the engine or the satisfaction of being in control and driving one of our engines, this is a gift they’ll never forget.
