Swing Band Evening - Saturday 23rd August

What a wonderful way to make the most of a long summer weekend by including a steam train ride through the Somerset countryside with the promise of a jazz band playing as you arrive in Minehead station. As you step off the train the appetising smell of a barbeque will greet you. For more information see www.West-Somerset-Railway.co.uk

Learn how to drive a Steam Train on the West Somerset Railway - available all year round

The WSR offers a range of one and two day courses to realise your childhood ambition to drive a steam train!

As Arden Cottage is only a 5 minute walk from Williton station (2 minutes in the car) why not consider booking your loved one onto this course as a Birdthday, Christmas or Anniversary gift. We would enjoy hearing about the daily adventures over a cup of tea and home made cake once they arrive back in the afternoon. Check out the above website for more information.
