About This Event

The Aln Valley Railway is a heritage railway based at Lionheart Station on the western edge of Alnwick. A community-led preservation project, the railway society was formed in 1995 and passenger services began in 2014, running approximately 1.5 miles along the original Alnwick branch line — which first opened in 1850 and closed in 1968 following the Beeching cuts. The Beer and Classic Vehicle Weekend combines two of the railway's most popular attractions. Visitors can browse a display of classic and vintage cars and bikes alongside the heritage locomotives, while sampling real ales at the on-site beer festival. It is a relaxed, family-friendly weekend set against the backdrop of the Northumberland countryside — a perfect combination of steam, chrome and craft beer. Entry to the classic vehicle show is free.
