Last year the Bluebell Railway ran its Ghost Train, which was a sell-out success.

This year the event returns to the railway for an even longer stint, running from the 22nd October until the 1st November.

The fantastic immersive event combines train travel with spooky storytelling.

This year has a brand new story, so those who enjoyed it last year can enjoy the event once more.

Visitors are invited to arrive at Sheffield Park Station at 4:30 pm to explore the station and enjoy the atmosphere before the event begins at 6:15 pm.

The event is suitable for older children and adults, and visitors should be aware that it is not a jump-scare event but a spooky storytelling event.

Tickets are available on their website and are expected to sell out fast.

“After the fantastic response to our first Ghost Train, we are delighted to bring the experience back for 2026 with a completely new story and new ghosts.

“The Ghost Train offers something very different from a traditional railway event. It combines the atmosphere of our historic stations and steam railway with live theatrical storytelling, allowing visitors to become part of the experience as the story unfolds around them.

“We are looking forward to welcoming visitors back to the Bluebell Railway this autumn and
seeing how they react to this new chapter.
