About
Rails and Ales is an on track celebration of both steam and diesel power coupled with a showcase of Norfolk's brewing traditions that will give visitors the opportunity to see and ride behind steam engines, diesel locomotives, diesel railcars and choose from local ales and ciders to enjoy!
Hop on and off and travel on a wide variety of trains and discover a different range of Norfolk tipples at each of the stations and enjoy live music at Weybourne on Friday and Saturday.
Each station will showcase a range of Norfolk-produced tipples as we celebrate the County's brewing expertise; Weybourne Station will host a real ale tent featuring a wide range of local ales and Norfolk ciders with space to sit and watch the trains come and go or (on Friday and Saturday) enjoy live music until 8.00pm (timings to be announced).
Live music will be provided by the Silver Morgan Duo, Hillbilly Goats Gruff, Jukebox James, Barny Holmes and Lissie Allsopp.
Tickets include unlimited travel so join the trains at either Sheringham or Holt, hop off at Weybourne for a beer or two and then take a further trip on the rails to discover the range of bottled beers and ciders available on at the other stations and in the bar cars on selected trains.
Many locomotives and railcars, a mix of steam and diesel, are scheduled to be out on the line each day and the three-days are packed with opportunities to travel behind locomotives that rarely work passenger trains and aboard a number of one-off specials.
