The Snowdonian offers an 80 mile round trip over the whole railway with a variety of motive power.
This popular event takes place in and around the streets of Caernarfon town and features a fantastic mix of local produce, street food & drinks, craft stalls and live music – something for all the family to enjoy.
Layouts, demonstrations, stalls. Come and chat about model making and pick up some tips.
Join us as we celebrate two momentous landmarks – the 200th anniversary of the modern railway and the 70th anniversary of passenger trains on the preserved Ffestiniog Railway.
Come along and enjoy a three-day weekend of vintage Ffestiniog Railway trains, during which we will be showcasing significant eras of our history, with stock from our heritage collection working an intensive timetable – including passenger, gravity, slate and freight trains.
Across the globe, New Year’s Day will resound to the sound of locomotive whistles, as heritage railways near and far mark the start of rail’s 200th anniversary.
Exciting news… between the 29th – 30th of December 2024, we will be offering a 50% discount for the whole family on our Seasonal Snowdonia Specials, to local residents with their primary address in the postcode areas LL22 – LL78 inclusive.
Congratulations to the Ffestiniog Railway Society (and, specifically, the ‘Buildings Minibash Team’) who have received the ‘Network Rail Volunteers Award’ at today’s National Rail Heritage Awards for the restoration work on Penrhyn Station,
Next year our trains will start running on the 29th March 2025 – and tickets for our 2025 services are now on sale…
We are delighted to announce that the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways was awarded the prestigious ‘Go Attraction of the Year’ award at this year’s Go North Wales Tourism Awards.
