Our classic combination of rail-travel, real-ale and revelry. The Real Ale Train runs in the evening on a monthly basis and features a tasting selection of Ales, Lagers, Porters and Stouts from our friends at local breweries.

Join us for the relaunch of the Dee Valley Real Ale Train – a relaxed evening of great beer, live music, and stunning scenery along the Dee Valley. The evening begins at 5.00pm with the opening of The Station Master’s Marquee, with live music creating a lively Beer Festival atmosphere before departure. The train leaves Llangollen at 7.00pm, travelling through the sweeping Welsh scenery as the sun sets and running directly to Corwen, where you’ll have time to enjoy a selection of quality bottled ales on board. On the way back from Corwen, the train will stop for 45 minutes at Glyndyfrdwy Railway Station, giving passengers the chance to step off and enjoy a few more ales in the ever-popular Porter’s Bar, before finally returning to Llangollen for around 9.30pm For the non-beer drinkers we have a selection of wines, Cider, lager and soft drinks. This is a brilliant social event - perfect for catching up with friends, meeting fellow ale lovers, and enjoying the unique atmosphere of a heritage railway.
