The new SteamLights event will see trains covered in thousands of colourful lights steam through the countryside between Sheffield Park and Horsted Keynes across the festive period.

Visitors will be treated to an festive display along the way, with festive scenes among the clearings and a colourful light show orchestrated in time with music and narration.

Ruth Rowatt, Bluebell Railway’s marketing manager, said: “We are so excited to bring SteamLights to Sussex.

“Steamlights will be a unique addition to any family’s calendar this Christmas – with festive displays, music and narration, this is a steam train experience not to be missed.”

The steam railway attraction had to launch an emergency appeal earlier in the year, as Covid-19 forced them to close. They have been back up and running with social distancing guidelines in place.

Tickets are sold per compartment to allow for social distancing measures. First class compartments seat up to six adults and third class up to eight adults. Passengers can also order Christmas hampers full of seasonal treats to enjoy during the journey. Tickets are now on sale for selected dates in December at www.bluebell-railway.com/whats-on/steamlights/
