What are you waiting for? Book a unique day out and experience the sounds and smells of yesteryear.

Afternoon Tea Aboard a Steam or Diesel Train

All aboard! Pair a charming ride in a beautiful steam train with a traditional afternoon tea. Choose a trip on East Somerset Railway, during which you can sit back and drink in the gorgeous views and catch up over delicious sandwiches, cakes and pastries. Or, why not board Northern Belle, which offers 17 locations across the UK and enjoy a quirky Mad Hatter’s Afternoon Tea Party?

Dine in Style on a Steam Train

True-crime lovers will love a murder mystery lunch aboard Belmond British Pullman. Dress up for the occasion, enjoy a five-course meal and take in dramatic scenes as the suspects make their way through the carriages. Or, perhaps relive the luxury and sophistication of former times aboard the extravagant Northern Belle? This day excursion includes brunch, a four-course dinner, half a bottle of wine and a glass of Champagne – cheers!

Amazing experience

This trip was absolutely amazing. The train is beautiful with seats like armchairs and wooden panelling thoughout. Tables are beautifully laid with fine china, crystal, silver napkin rings etc. All staff are amazingly helpful and friendly. We had so much food and drink we could barely walk afterwards! It is such a wonderful experience, worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Excellent deal with PreXmas discount

I bought a voucher because I’d seen a day trip on The Northen Belle that I fancied for me and my wife in Sept 2022. I bought the voucher with a discount and then contacted the supplier to book the trip - everything was straight forward and available and we’re now booked in - would highly recommend

a seventy bithday

Nervously I arrived on my own for my birthday present from my daughter but was soon enjoying being part of the group of four who were seated opposite me. They included me in their drinks, we exchanged photos and we have arranged to meet on a future trip. I came away after enjoying some wonderful food and champagne with four new friends What a great afternoon thank you. .
