IOW Steam Railway: 150th Anniversary and Festive Ales Weekend

29 – 30 November 2025
Havenstreet station

Celebrate 150 years of Island railway history with the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.

This special weekend brings together the nostalgia of steam travel, the charm of heritage carriages, and the festive cheer of seasonal ales.

Whether you’re a steam-rail fan, a family looking for a memorable day out or simply after a cosy autumn experience, this event offers something for everyone.

Entry to the Havenstreet station site is free during the weekend, making it easy to explore even if you just want to pop in.

A special all-day travel ticket is available that covers both the Steam Railway and the Island’s modern rail line between Ryde Pier Head, Smallbrook, Shanklin and Wootton. At just £20.00 for adults and £10.00 for children (aged 5-15 years) it’s great value for a full on rail-experience day.
