VALENTINE'S PULLMAN TEA...
---------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
15th February - now SOLD OUT
16th February - FOUR SEATS ONLY
---------------------------------------------------

Don't miss your chance to treat that special person in your life. We only have seats left for TWO COUPLES to enjoy a special 'Valentine's Pullman Tea' during a romantic journey by steam train, travelling 'coast to coast' through Snowdonia's magnificent scenery from Porthmadog to Caernarfon and return on 16th February.

On arrival at Porthmadog's Harbour Station you will be escorted to reserved First Class Pullman seats, where you will be greeted with a glass of Bucks Fizz, before your departure on the 10:50 train to Caernarfon for a 25-mile scenic journey that winds its way through the mountains of Snowdonia.

Following a break of just over an hour at Caernarfon, your train leaves for the return trip at 14:20 - arriving back in Porthmadog at 16:30

The Pullman Tea - consisting of an elegantly cut sandwich selection and an assortment of delicious cakes and scones accompanied by tea or coffee - will be served at your table during the return trip to Porthmadog.

Add a little sparkle to your Valentine’s day trip with a bottle of Prosecco at £20.00

CAFFI DE WINTON, CAERNARFON STATION...

Remember, even though trains aren't running at the moment, Caffi De Winton is open every day from 09:00-16:00. The café is becoming more and more popular as a great place to have a break while in Caernarfon.

A great review appeared in a local paper, written by Instagrammer 'Caffis a Babis', a translation of which follows:

"This is a brand new café at the railway station and I'm very happy to see that it fits perfectly with the Cafes and Babies page! There are tables on the ground floor and many more upstairs, with ample space for prams. There are high chairs too and I really like the handy little toy box that kept my little one busy! The food is delicious and extremely reasonable, with a shop next door selling plenty of railway-themed items, toys, books and local produce. It's also great to see that there are nappy changing facilities in both men's and women's toilets - something I haven't seen before! Elis and I will be coming back for sure!"

So next time you're in Caernarfon, why not call in at the station for a welcome break, either on the readily accessible ground floor or upstairs in the Castle View Lounge. Whichever you choose - the Station Team would love to see you there..! ... See MoreSee Less
