Halloween Train Event at the BVLR

Bridge View Light Railway is running a Halloween special at Russells Garden Centre on Saturday 31 October, from 11:00 to 15:00. It's a family-friendly one, with spooky train rides running throughout the day, so you can come and go when it suits you rather than sticking to a single time slot.

There's more to it than just the rides, too. They've put together a Halloween trail for the little ones to follow around the site, and every child gets a treat. Fancy dress is welcome, so if the kids have costumes they've been waiting to wear, this is a good place to let them out. It's a proper day out for families, with the train and the trail as the main draw.

Because it's based at Russells Garden Centre, you've got a few other options on hand. You can stop by the centre itself, grab a coffee at The Potting Shed Cafe, or pop into neighbouring Memorable Blooms. It makes it easy to stretch the visit into a full morning or afternoon rather than just a quick trip in and out.

On the practical side, there's no pre-booking needed—you just buy your tickets at the ticket office on the day. It's £4 per child and £1.50 per adult, with under-2s riding for free. The railway is at Russells Garden Centre, Mill Hill, Baginton, Coventry, CV8 3AG, and they'll be running from 11:00 until 15:00 on Saturday 31 October.
