The Kent Real Ale Train

Hop on board our Kent Real Ale Train to enjoy a pint or a few whilst travelling through the High Weald!

The Kent Real Ale Train

Enjoy a train ride through the High Weald with friends and/or family while sipping some local real ales! For each train, we select local breweries and cideries from Kent and the surrounding counties; regular breweries include Westerham, Harvey’s, Pig & Porter, and we also get beers from other parts of the United Kingdom, many not usually seen in Kent!

Your onboard experience will last approximately two and a half hours. Our bar carriage will also have a selection of hot beverages, soft drinks and snacks for you to purchase during the journey.

Did you know our Tunbridge Wells West station is located just a pleasant 15-minute walk from the mainline station on the line between Tonbridge & Hastings? With a great selection of pubs between the mainline and us, you could enjoy a beer or two from a local establishment before or after your visit to us and leave the car at home!

What’s included?

  • Two return train journeys along the Spa Valley Railway.
  • Travel in our 1960’s heritage coaches.
  • The first pint of beer is included in the ticket price per person.
  • Access to the bar throughout the evening to purchase other drinks and light refreshments.
