Combine the nostalgia of steam with the quintessential British tradition of Afternoon Tea. Sit back, relax and enjoy the luxury of our restored British Railway Carriages from the 1950s in your own personal compartment.

Your Afternoon Tea will be served to your compartment as you enjoy your nostalgic steam-hauled journey along the Nene Valley.

Our Afternoon Tea trains depart Wansford Station at 12:00 and 15:25.

Nene Valley Railway have partnered with Stamford's Central Cafe and Tea Rooms for this year's Afternoon Tea services!
