The Severn Valley Railway (SVR) is hosting a Winter Steam Gala early next year.

Taking place on Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 January, the event will see at least five steam locomotives in operation.

Commenting on the news, Lewis Maddox, SVR’s visitor engagement manager, said: “There are many people with a keen interest in seeing steam no matter what the season, and there can be nothing finer than the sight of a locomotive running on a crisp winter day.”

Tickets for the gala are now on sale at svr.co.uk
