Afternoon Tea at the Spa Valley Railway
Combine the elegance of steam train travel with a quintessential British treat, as you enjoy Afternoon Tea on one of our heritage trains steaming through the glorious High Weald countryside in the Garden of England. 

There’s no finer way to spend a relaxing afternoon than with Afternoon Tea on a steam hauled train, travelling in our heritage 1960s carriages, you’ll enjoy the relaxing journey through the High Weald between Eridge and Tunbridge Wells West. Sit back and relax as you tuck into a wonderful selection of freshly prepared traditional finger sandwiches, savoury snacks, scones and cakes, all found in the Afternoon Tea hamper on your table. 

Enjoy passing through an area of outstanding natural beauty, making sure you keep an eye out for the famous sandstone rocks and Oast Houses along the way, the beautifully restored carriages, and a delicious Afternoon Tea!

Your experience will last just over 1 hour. Your tickets are valid for train travel all day so if you wanted to remain on board, you might need to sit in another part of a train as we do have other experiences, you'd be more than welcome to!
