Spectacle of Steam (Charitable Fundraising Event)
Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th March 2026
Time: 09:00-17:00
Our opening Steam Event of the Season, Spectacle of Steam promises to showcase the Statfold collection across the weekend.
See more working steam locomotives in one hour than anywhere else in the UK and if not the world! With a huge variety of rare, unique and historic locomotives on show from various manufacturers from around the world.
Statfold’s unique site is a steam enthusiast’s dream, with full lineside access within 30 minutes walking distance from the main station. As well as this our unique railway features: -
- The only narrow-gauge Roundhouse in the UK
- Double track mainline where you can experience parallel running and trains passing each other.
- Two different gauges of railway.
- Dedicated photography at various points of the railway.
- Fierce gradients and tight corners.
- Coaches with balcony ends so you can immerse yourself in steam.
- Freight trains throughout the day
- Our unique railbus the ‘Goose’.
- Locomotive changes throughout the day.
The day will also feature the Mease Valley Light Railway, the newest 12 ¼ gauge railway in existence.
Our friends at Transport Museum Wythall will be providing a shuttle bus service from Tamworth Town Centre and Tamworth Railway Station.
