Carols & Steam Evening

Join us for the return of our much-loved Carols & Steam – choose from two evenings:

  • Sat 5th December
  • Sun 6th December

Join us at the Avon Valley Railway for an evening of carol singing and Christmas cheer onboard our steam train!

Hop onboard the steam train at Bitton Station, where your journey will begin. Passengers will then alight at Oldland Common and Avon Riverside to sing some carols together, all with the accompaniment of the brilliant Bristol East & Kingswood Brass Band. There will also be a special performance by the Avon Valley Railway Choir, singing a festive piece for you at each station.

All passengers will also enjoy a complimentary hot drink as well as a seasonal refreshment of a mince pie or shortbread star while they travel the line. Make sure that you arrive in plenty of time once the gates are open at 18:30 to order your refreshments before the train departs at 19:15. The journey will last for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes (including stops), arriving back to Bitton for carriages at 21:00.

Thank you to The Methodist Church Bristol & South Gloucestershire Circuit & to the Bristol East & Kingswood Brass Band for making this event possible.
