What better way to see out the end of August than joining us for our annual Beer Festival and Diesel Gala?

Whether you’re an avid diesel basher or a real ale enthusiast, we have a perfect weekend of real ale and classic rail!

At Embsay you’ll find our beer tent, serving an eclectic range of over 25 cask ales, ciders, perrys, wine and gins.

Sit back and unwind with friends over a few scoops, whilst enjoying the foot tappin’ tunes from the fantastic local bands and singers that will be playing at Embsay over the weekend.

Why not climb aboard our Thompson Bar Car, a true hark back to the glory days of rail travel.

For our basher fraternity, we have a treat in store! This year we are joined by 31452, recently liveried in BR Intercity, a first for this loco on the heritage scene

Tickets can be bought on the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway website.
