Statfold Barn Railway is a private railway which is open 3 times a year, strictly by Invitation only.
It is a dual gauge line (2 ft and 2 ft 6 ins) with a run of over 3 miles.
There is also a smaller 2ft line around an ornamental lake.
There is also a short standard gauge demonstration line.
This event will be our biggest yet and applications are now being received for attendance.
If anyone wishes to be considered for an invitation they should write to the address below (mentioning Narrow Gauge Heaven) to ask for one. In return we ask for a donation of £8 per head (Net proceeds are given to Charity)
Cheques should be made payable to “Friends of Statfold Barn Steam Railway”
Please note no one under 14 years of age I’m afraid.
If you are interested apply ASAP because we have a limit on numbers and the invitations go fast! Apply now to avoid disappointment!
