Easter Gala
Dates:
Get ready for our Easter Gala.
All aboard for an Easter adventure at South Devon Railway’s Easter Gala. Join us on 19th & 20th April 2025 and experience the nostalgic charm of heritage railway travel in the beautiful Devon countryside. An intensive timetable will be operating on the railway, with a variety of steam and diesel locomotives pulling our trains, including a freight train operating that visitors can travel on (for a small additional fee). There will also be classic cars on display at Buckfastleigh, visits to the original signal box where you can have a go at pulling signal levers, a rare chance to see our Lee Moor locomotive display, viewing of our workshops, and much more!
For the best value, buy one of our ranger tickets that allows travel all day on all our services. Spaces on our freight train will be available for those with ranger tickets only, and subject to a £5 supplement, payable on a first come, first served basis.
Locomotives operating over the weekend are: 1928 built GWR “Prairie Tank” No. 5526, 1934 built GWR “Pannier Tank” No. 1369, and 1959 built diesel Class 33 No. 33002.
Whether you’re a railway enthusiast or looking for a fun-filled family day out, the Easter Gala offers something for everyone.
