Treat Mum to a Mother’s Day Brunch on Mothering Sunday 15 March 2026
Combine the romance of steam while dining at your table on board the beautifully restored 1960s heritage carriages. The Brunch Train will depart from Tunbridge Wells West at 11.15 (booking in advance only please).
This is the perfect late-morning experience and is £30 per adult and £15 per child. The experience includes a sumptuous, freshly prepared Brunch with tea or coffee for the adults or juice for the children.
Also taking place on Sunday 15 March will be Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea
Families can combine a quintessentially British treat with Afternoon Tea on Mothering Sunday on board a magnificent steam train.
Depart from Tunbridge Wells West at 2:00 pm and enjoy a delicious Afternoon Tea with freshly prepared finger sandwiches, scones, cakes, and a choice of teas or coffee. Why not add a bottle of prosecco to your order at the online checkout.
The train will be stopping at High Rocks during this experience, which is taking place when the bridge at Broom Lane is being replaced at this time our trains cannot reach Groombridge or Eridge.
However, the train will still cover the equivalent distance as if you were travelling the whole length of the line as the train will go back and forth along the line which is open. There will also be an opportunity to see the locomotive that pulled your train at Tunbridge Wells West. Adult (16+) £38 and Child (2-15yrs) £24.
