Halloween Lights of the Valley Train — Gwili Railway

The Gwili Railway runs its Halloween Lights of the Valley Train as an autumn half-term ride out of Abergwili Junction near Carmarthen, in South West Wales. The operator describes vintage steam trains adorned with sparkling neon lights, with plenty of chances for photographs and social media posts.

There are some spooky goings-on for those who enjoy a little suspense, and the operator says those elements can be avoided if you prefer the simplicity of a beautifully-lit train ride. As they board, children receive a biscuit, juice and an activity booklet.

Seating is either open seats at tables for four, where groups of two may share, or a private 1950s compartment for an extra-special experience. A full bar service is offered on the train, with real ales, premium lagers and ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks, and there are hot food options during the trip.
