Afternoon Tea Trains 2021

Our First Class Afternoon Tea Trains offer an enjoyable experience which includes a ticket for unlimited travel on our trains on the day of your visit.

Sit back and enjoy a relaxing journey hauled by a steam locomotive through the beautiful Leicestershire Countryside. Your First Class Afternoon Tea is served during the journey in your own reserved seats in one of our first class dining coaches.

Your ticket also allows travel on any of our trains on the day of your visit, giving you the chance to enjoy our beautifully restored stations along the way.

Tickets are priced at £29 per person (including train fare). Pre-booking is essential for Afternoon Tea Trains.

The Afternoon Tea Trains will depart from Loughborough Central station at either 3.00 pm (selected weekdays) or 2.45pm (selected Saturdays) or  2.30 pm (selected Bank Holiday Mondays).
