The Severn Valley Railway is putting on a special train service to take people from Kidderminster to Bewdley for the annual Christmas light switch-on ceremony on Saturday 2 December.

Departing Kidderminster at 4.30pm and returning from Bewdley at 7.30pm, it allows plenty of time to soak up the town’s festive atmosphere, and join the Mayor and Father Christmas for the countdown to the illuminations at 5.30pm.

There’ll be an outdoor Christmas market with seasonal products and gifts and delicious festive food and drink. Tickets for the train service can be bought on the day only at Kidderminster Town station booking office at £5 for a return and £2.50 for a single. Buy tickets here: svr.co.uk
