Give your Mum a Mothers' Day Treat with the Kent & East Sussex Railway

On Sunday 6 March 2016, enjoy a special Mothers’ Day treat with a visit to Tenterden’s Steam Railway.

The railway offers the perfect day out, where everyone in the family can enjoy the service and style from a more gentle time. A time when opulent surroundings and attentive staff made our railways the envy of the world!

Mums can choose from two tasty options, either a traditional Ploughman's Lunch or a delicious cream tea.  Both options are served with tea and coffee. These delicious treats are available on either the 1.15 or 3.35 departures from Tenterden or the 2.15 or 4.35 departures from Bodiam. The inclusive cost is £27.80 for Mum and others in the party will pay normal train fares £17.00 for adults and £11.50 for children age 3 to 15 and can choose to add £6.20 for a cream tea or £7.30 for a Ploughman’s.

This special Mothers’ Day treat includes a two-hour return journey on one of the Railway's restored steam trains, a reserved table for your family and a surprise gift for every Mum to take home to remember her special day. Relax on board and enjoy some quality time with Mum, as you take in the beautiful scenery of the surrounding countryside, interrupted only by the gentle chug of the steam engine.
