Real Ale

17 Jun

On Friday 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th June we are delighted to once again team up with our friends from the North Cotswold branch of CAMRA to bring you the 21st Ale & Steam event. Why not join us and relax with a pint of real ale or cider while watching all the action on the rails. As in previous years we will have bars available at both Winchcombe and Toddington stations, with an enhanced timetable on both the Friday and Saturday. Frequent trains will operate between Toddington and Winchcombe, shared between two steam locomotives and our ever-popular diesel railcar - allowing you to travel between the bars throughout the day. Although full details are not yet available, we are anticipating at least 25 ales will be available at Winchcombe and 15 ales at Toddington. A good variety of ciders will also be available at both Winchcombe and Toddington. Refreshments and soft drinks will also be available at Winchcombe and Toddington. Normal train fares apply and there will be free entry to the festival with a valid train ticket for the day of your visit. Members and Shareholder vouchers will also be valid. If you are not travelling on the trains, but wish to sample the beer at either station, we ask you buy a platform ticket priced at just £2. To make purchases at the bar’s beer tokens must be purchased from CAMRA representatives. These will be valid at both bars and on all days of the festival. Unused tokens can be refunded or donated to charity at the end of your visit. You will also be required to purchase a glass from CAMRA representatives at £2 each. Steam and Real Ale Bars at Winchcombe and Toddington will be open between 1030 and 1800 (extended to 1820 at Toddington and 1830 at Winchcombe on Saturday). A modified green timetable will operate on Friday and Saturday, with additional trains between Toddington and Winchcombe operated by our diesel railcar. This will also call at Hayles Abbey Halt. A late train will operate back to Cheltenham Racecourse on both Friday and Saturday. On the Saturday there will be an additional later train to / from Broadway. On the Sunday both bars (subject to availability) will be open to sell any remaining beer from 1100. While we cannot guarantee a full range of beer will be available, every effort will be made to ensure a good selection of ales remain and this will offer an ideal way to finish the weekend. Bars will close at 1500, or earlier if beer supply is exhausted. On the rail side a normal pink timetable will operate with one steam locomotive and one diesel locomotive operating. Please note there will be no hot food available at Winchcombe on the Sunday. Join us for a journey through the Cotswolds countryside, and stop off at Winchcombe where you will be able to purchase and enjoy a range of real ales and ciders. A 5% discount is automatically applied to all tickets purchased online.
