There’ll be a wide range of vehicles on display, including multiples model of Ferrari, together with the latest Lamborghinis and numerous vintage models from both companies. Visitors will be able to marvel at these famous vehicles without the hassle or expense of travelling to Italy!

At the station, the King & Castle pub will offer a selection of real ales and food, such as beer-battered fish and chips, sausage and mash and an all-day breakfast. There’s plenty of parking space in the SVR’s car park, located on the right of the station, and the event runs between 10am and 4pm.

Tickets to travel on the railway are available to pre-book at svr.co.uk, or can be bought on the day. Why not combine road and rail for the perfect heritage day out?

Celebrating its 60th Anniversary in 2025, the Severn Valley Railway welcomes up to 250,000 visitors per year, and is among the UK’s most popular and much-loved historical attractions. Run largely by a dedicated body of more than 1,600 volunteers, the full-size, standard-gauge railway line runs regular steam- and diesel-hauled passenger trains along a scenic 16-mile route between Kidderminster in Worcestershire and Bridgnorth in Shropshire for visitors and enthusiasts alike to enjoy. There are six attractive, beautifully-maintained stations along the route as well as the Engine House Visitor Centre at Highley. Here, visitors can enjoy interactive exhibits including up to eight steam locomotives, a magnificent royal carriage and a ‘how the SVR works’ exhibition. There’s also a shop and café.
