The Kent Gin Train!

23rd March, 25th & 26th May plus more!

Home of the orignal Gin Tasting Experience hauled by a Steam Locomotive in the South East!
Join us on an afternoon on the Kent Gin train departing from Tunbridge Wells West for a return trip to Eridge, along the way you get the chance to enjoy 3 different Gin’s from local distilerys.

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 Gins brought to you by the fantastic Anno Distillery, based in Marden with the occassional guest gin too!

To enhance your Gin tasting experience we'll also provide a bowl of ice, selection of fruits to garnish your gins with and a complimentary Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water. You can mix your gins up to suit your taste in your very own branded Spa Valley Railway Balloon Gin glass and to keep hunger at bay a delightful selection of Canapés will be served too. All of this is just £35 per adult!

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!
