Over the weekend, the Llangollen and Corwen Railway held its Branch Line Gala, which was a huge success.

Over the three days, the railway saw huge attendance with passengers enjoying an amazing line-up, live music, and a pop-up bar.

The railway has thanked everyone who attended the gala, making it the success that it was.

They are also hugely appreciative of the volunteers who practically ran the event and made the whole thing possible.

They are now planning and finalising their next event, which will be the 80s Diesel Weekend, taking place on 30–31 May.

Additionally, if you missed out on attending the Brach Line Gala this year, they have confirmed that it will return next year, so keep your eyes peeled later this year for tickets.

“This year’s gala has been absolutely fantastic. We’ve seen a huge number of visitors, with people travelling from all over the UK to be here. The atmosphere right across the railway has been incredible.

“The combination of four steam engines, an intensive timetable, and the range of activities on offer has really delivered something special. It’s also been wonderful to see how popular Beyer’s Bar and the brake van rides have been.

“Events like this play a huge role in promoting the Dee Valley and supporting the local economy. Above all, this has been a team effort, and our volunteers have once again been outstanding.”
