Enjoy a unique and exclusive evening gin experience – it’s just the tonic! Our popular gin train features five specially selected local gins served as your steam train makes two journeys from Sheringham to Holt and return. Start the evening with a long gin drink served on arrival, then take your seat in a first class dining carriage ready for departure. A generous mezze board of cold meats and cheeses provides a delicious accompaniment your drinks. You will savour three contrasting gins each served with a mixer and also have the chance to try a tasty homemade cheesecake (infused with gin of course!). A gin liqueur or gin served neat over ice is the perfect way to round off the evening. On many trains, you can meet a producer from one of the local distilleries and there’s also the chance to purchase small bottles as a souvenir and take home a taste of Norfolk. Trains are available to board from 6.00pm, departing at 6.30pm. You will make two return journeys from Sheringham to Holt, arriving back in Sheringham at approximately 9.15pm.
