Yes, you heard right – gin on a train! If you’re looking for something a bit special this summer (and you’re a gin lover) why not join us for an afternoon of gin tasting aboard a vintage steam train? It makes for a fantastically different gift for your gin-loving friends and family too.
We always have so much fun serving our delicious gins aboard the gin train – so we’re delighted to be back for yet another year, partnering with Severn Valley Railway to provide visitors a first-class tasting experience with a ginny-twist!
Jump onboard this award-winning attraction from Bewdley station on various dates throughout July and August to enjoy the ultimate boozy, vintage day out as we steam our way through spectacular countryside (and a number of delicious artisan gins!)
A Steaming-good day
Once you’ve finished admiring the exterior of this gorgeous full-size, steam-hauled passenger train built in 1936, you’ll jump aboard to your beautiful, reserved, first-class table in carriage LNER 7960.
You’ll firstly be welcomed with a refreshing cocktail as you steam towards Bridgnorth. Following your welcome cocktail, you’ll be presented with a summer-themed tasting menu with wonderful tasting gins and hand-selected mixers, garnishes and tasting notes.
As we meander from Bewdley to Bridgnorth and back in the afternoon sun, there’ll be something for every flavour palette, so there’s plenty to discover as we steam through the countryside.
A 45-minute stop in Bridgnorth will provide just enough time to visit The Railwayman’s pub and Refreshment room, both on Platform One of the station.
Choo-choose your favourite Gin
The return journey to Bewdley includes two more tastings, followed by a glass of your favourite gin from the tasting sequence, served with premium tonic and garnish. Additional drinks will also be available to purchase.

Customer Review
Don’t just take our word for it! Check out Trip Advisor for more great reviews.
“It was an amazing experience! All the Gins were talked about by The Little Gin Company [&] had nibbles to compliment them and they did, which made them taste so much better. I even had a favourite. After the Gin experience had ended the steam trains were available to travel on. We visited some beautiful little villages, met lots of interesting people, made new friends on and off the train. I would highly recommend this experience.”
