The Kent Whisky Train!

2025 dates coming soon!

Back for 2024 is our Whisky Tasting Experience hauled by a Steam Locomotive in association with Copper Rivet Distillery!
Join us on an afternoon on the Kent Whisky train departing from Tunbridge Wells West for a return trip to Eridge, along the way you get the chance to enjoy 3 different whiskies from the Copper Rivet Distillery, Chatham Dockyard, Kent.

Arrive at Tunbridge Wells West and board our heritage 1960s carriages before you set off through the High Weald. On your table will be a selection of three different whiskies:

All three are single estate whiskies, natural, unfiltered and created in Kent at the Dockyard, Chatham. 

To enhance your whisky tasting experience we'll also provide a bowl of ice and a complimentary Fever-Tree mixer. You can mix your whiskies up to suit your taste in your very own branded Spa Valley Railway whisky glass and to keep hunger at bay a delightful selection of canapés will be served too. All of this is just £40 per adult!

The Kent Whisky train is the first on train whisky tasting experience in the South East.
