The Stapleford Railway Open Weekend will take place on August 24th, 25th, and 26th, 2024. 

This will be the last public operation of the historic miniature railway in 2024.

Featuring multiple locomotives in steam, the nearly 2-mile line will be operating from 10:00 AM to around 4:30 PM, subject to weather and passenger numbers.   

The event will also include a vintage steam rally, with classic vehicles, tractors, and miniature steam. There will be a classic and vintage caravan rally village open to view, as well as trade, craft, and food outlets, and children's entertainment.

Dogs are welcome on leads on the rally field but unable to carry on trains.

There is free parking in front of the lake, and the admission fee is £5 for adults and £3 for children over 5. Train rides are £3 per trip, and children under 5 ride for free.
