The school holidays are in full swing (and, for now, the sun is out…) so Sandiway Miniature Railway is open on Wednesdays as well as Sundays. We have steam out on a few occasions too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are open from 12:00 noon to 4:00pm on the following days…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday 2 August <\/strong>(with steam engine Li’L Jo<\/em>)
Wednesday 5 August<\/strong>
Sunday 9 August<\/strong>*
Wednesday 12 August<\/strong>
Sunday 16 August <\/strong>(with steam engine Lady Joan<\/em><\/s> Following the government alert, we will not be operating with steam at the railway for the time being. Keep an eye on this page about operations on Bank Holiday Monday, also scheduled for steam running)
Wednesday 19 August<\/strong>
Sunday 23 August<\/strong>
Wednesday 26 August<\/strong>
Sunday 30 August<\/strong>
Bank Holiday Monday 31 August<\/strong> (with steam engine Lady Joan<\/em> TBC<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*On Saturday 8 August, the railway will be in use for a members’ event that is not open to the public. However, a few of the engines – including some steam – are likely to stay over for the public running on Sunday 9 August, so there may be an assortment of interesting locomotives heading trains that day – and for that you are welcome to join the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We return to our normal Sunday opening in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
