VoBR CHRISTMAS EVENT CANCELLED
EVENT CANCELLED
Sadly we have to announce that we are cancelling our Santa’s Sharpness Special event. We’ve recently identified mechanical issues with our heritage Pacer train which we can’t be certain of resolving in time for Christmas. Many thanks to everyone who has shown interest in this event – please check on our website and social media, and sign up for our newsletter to find out about other events we will be running in 2027. If you’ve already bought tickets we will refund you in full.

About us
The Vale of Berkeley Railway Charitable Trust is working to re-open part of the Sharpness Branch line to passengers.
We are repurposing the former freight exchange sidings at Sharpness as our headquarters, having moved out of the Old Engine Shed down by the Docks.
The result will be a new heritage railway attraction and educational facility, enhancing the local community.
Buy the VoBR a coffee
To help fund our new rolling stock shed and machine shop at Oldminster Sidings, we’re asking you to donate us £10 (or more) every month.
£10 a month is less than the price of a barista cup of coffee every week. It’s about £2.30 a week or 30p a day!
If all our members and supporters could donate £10 a month, we’d soon be building our new rolling stock shed and machine shop at Oldminster Sidings. Please click on the button below or for more details see our Donate page. Thank you!
JustGiving does not charge us a fee for their donations platform. Instead, when you donate you can choose if you want to contribute towards their running costs.
