The Severn Valley Railway Ghost Train

Are you brave enough to climb aboard the Ghost Train? Arrive early at Kidderminster Station for face-painting and a spooky disco, before making your way along the dark platform to find your seats.

Once aboard the train, hold on tight as the train roars away, passing through haunted stations on the way to Arley – the home of the living dead that only come out at night! But beware, those things that go bump in the night are not just outside the windows.

Your ticket includes: access to face painting and Halloween disco with Disco Daddy at Kidderminster Station before your departure. Guaranteed seat on the Ghost Train to Arley and return. Spooky goody bag for all fare-paying children.

Kidderminster departures are 6.20pm, 7.10pm & 8.00pm and the event days are 26th, 30th & 31st of October.
