A music festival with a difference.

Combine a unique train journey through the High Weald of Sussex by steam train with live music on a summer’s day and into the evening!

Enjoy a fantastic selection of music appealing to all ages and backgrounds throughout the weekend.

Centred around Horsted Keynes Station, a variety of activities, entertainment and historical vehicles will contribute to the vintage atmosphere of this family festival.

With ample free parking at Horsted Keynes and Sheffield Park Stations, various food outlets and a busy train timetable, there will be plenty to see and do all weekend.

Why not fully immerse yourself in a real heritage experience? Weekend tickets are available.
