Hop on board our Kent Real Ale & Cider Train to enjoy a pint or a few whilst travelling through the High Weald!
Enjoy a train ride through the High Weald with friends and/or family whilst enjoying real ale and cider! We select local breweries and cideries from Kent and the surrounding counties for each train, regular breweries include Westerham, Cellar Head, Harvey's, Pig & Porter and High Weald, we also get beers and ciders from other parts of the United Kingdom too, many not usually seen in Kent!

Your on-board experience is approximately two and a half hours long and our bar carriage will also have a selection of hot beverages, soft drinks and snacks for you to purchase during the journey.

Did you know our Tunbridge Wells West station is located just a pleasant 15-minute walk from the mainline station on the line between Tonbridge & Hastings, with a great selection of pubs between the mainline and us you could enjoy a beer or two from a local establishment before or after your visit to us and leave the car at home!
