Britain's What's On Event Guide
Blythburgh Station Open Day and Model Railway Show
Heritage Open Day: Visit the restored 1879 narrow gauge Blythburgh Station - model railway show - railway films - light refreshments - guided tours - railway bookstall - demonstration goods trains - displays - access to railway trackbed walks. Blythburgh Station was opened in 1879 and closed in 1929 - it is now being restored, and visitors can see the progress. Demonstration freight trains will run, using our unique 88-year-old solar-charged locomotive with replica wagons, as you would have seen on the railway 100 years ago. There are guided tours of the site and its original features, including the award-winning restored Victorian Goods Shed, with archaeological displays. A large live-steam model railway will run.
