A 5-mile long Beer & Cider Festival with 220 Real Ales, of which 36 will be Kent Green Hop. Complimented by 14 Keg Beers and 78 Ciders, this is the biggest event we’ve ever staged for lovers of beer and cider!
Entry to the stations is free, with charges applying to train travel. CAMRA members receive a 25% discount on train travel upon production of a valid membership card at the ticket offices (not available online). All children aged 0-15 years travel FREE when accompanied by a full fare-paying adult during our Beer & Cider Festival!
The event is not far away, starting at 6 pm on Thursday, 16th October. We saw a huge number of you visit in 2024, and we’ve ordered an even broader range of beers and ciders to cope with demand, including those from as far north as the Scottish Highlands, deep in Wales, all the way down to Cornwall and the Isle of Wight, too.
- 168 Cask Ales at Tunbridge Wells West (36 Green Hop), 18 at Groombridge and 30 at Eridge.
- 54 Ciders at Tunbridge Wells West, 10 at Groombridge and 10 at Eridge, plus four more on the trains!
Head to the Spa Valley Railway this October and enjoy 220 Real Ales, including 36 Kent Green Hop Beers, 14 Keg Beers, 78 Ciders, Live Music throughout the event at all three stations, and food stalls, including the popular Fullers Butcher BBQ and Thai Food stand, alongside our steam and heritage diesel trains!
