Join us for a very special journey aboard the Asparagus Express, steaming through the glorious Cotswolds in celebration of the renowned Vale of Evesham asparagus season (23rd April – 21st June).

Our heritage steam train departs from Broadway Station at 12:50pm, bound for Cheltenham Race Course, with a few deliciously quirky surprises on board! Expect appearances from festival favourites including the Asparamancer and the beloved Gus the Asparagus Man – perfect for photo opportunities and a good bit of fun.
Keep an eye out for fresh, locally grown Vale of Evesham asparagus – available to purchase on board and to enjoy as part of our onboard catering!
