We are absolutely thrilled that we have been named We are absolutely thrilled that we have been named the 'GO ATTRACTION OF THE YEAR' at the Go North Wales Tourism Awards 2024..! #gonorthwales #northwalestourismawards #nwtawards #northwales #winner2024 #GONWTAWARDS
STEAMING INTO CHRISTMAS ON THE F&WHR… It’s ju STEAMING INTO CHRISTMAS ON THE F&WHR… It’s just over two weeks to the first of our Santa trains between Caernarfon and Rhyd Ddu, with Santa and his Elves onboard - greeting passengers, handing out presents to the children and singing Christmas carols. There’ll be local music groups and singers providing entertainment at Caernarfon Station, with time to browse the shop or enjoy a tasty treat from Caffi de Winton. In Porthmadog, Santa will be visiting his magical Christmas Carriage Grotto, specially prepared by his team of hard-working Elves. Come along and admire the fantastic Christmas decorations, enjoy a footplate ride on a steam locomotive and take a shuttle train ride to Minffordd and back. The station shop will be open, as will Spooner’s Café-Bar – so there are certainly lots of ways to make the most of a family visit to see Santa..! Our gift shops in Caernarfon and Porthmadog are open most days for pre-Christmas shopping, with a wide range of local and railway interest gifts, offering present ideas to suit all tastes. Of course, our web shop is open 24/7 throughout the year for shopping from the comfort of home - visit www.festrail.co.uk/shop Between 28th December and New Year’s Day (inclusive) we will be running scenic ‘Seasonal Snowdonia Specials’ - from Caernarfon to Rhyd Ddu return and from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog and return - so there will be plenty of opportunities to shake off any post-Christmas blues..! Please Note: Tickets for Santa Trains and Santa’s Grotto should be bought in advance. For more details on all of the above and to buy tickets - visit www.festrail.co.uk/christmas

MEWN COF - IN REMEMBRANCE... On this Remembrance MEWN COF - IN REMEMBRANCE... On this Remembrance Sunday, we are sharing a photo of LYD in November 2016, carrying a wreath to commemorate the contribution of all British and Commonwealth personnel - civil and military - involved in the two World Wars and later conflicts. As no trains are running today, a representative of the F&WHR will be one of those laying wreaths at Porthmadog's War Memorial this morning...
🟢 COME AND HAVE A GO AT DRIVING A STEAM LOCOMOT 🟢 COME AND HAVE A GO AT DRIVING A STEAM LOCOMOTIVE..! ▪️ HALF-TERM FUN - 26th and 28th October ▪️ or ▪️ CHRISTMAS TREAT - 28th and 30th December Much more than a short footplate ride up and down the station platform, these three-hour workshops give you a chance (in a small group) to learn more about how a steam loco works. Two of our friendly loco drivers/fitters with in-depth experience of building, maintaining and driving locos will take you through the way a steam engine works. Participants will get to help prepare a steam loco, see it in action behind the scenes (at our historic Boston Lodge workshops), receive information on ‘how it works’ and then have a go at firing and driving in the yard - or under cover in our large carriage shed if the weather is uncooperative..! It’s all very friendly and relaxed… an ideal experience if you are looking for something a little different. This makes an ideal gift for anyone with even a passing interest in locos, heritage, engineering or simply the challenge of driving an unusual vehicle. Don’t just take our word for it, read what past visitors have to say..! ✅ “…definitely a tick off the bucket list. A great privilege to have such access. Will recommend…” ✅ “A really wonderful experience fulfilling childhood fantasies. The driver and fireman were fab and fun.” ✅ “Driver experience just what the doctor ordered. Great.” ✅ “A great experience and very informative” We have spaces left on the four dates above - don't miss your chance of a real 'hands-on' way to learn more about how steam locos work..! For more information and to book your place in the group, head to https://www.festrail.co.uk/workshop-how-steam.../
