Halloween Ales from Wales Train — Llangollen Railway

The Halloween Ales from Wales Train is an evening departure on the Llangollen Railway built around Welsh real ales. The evening begins with live music at Llangollen Station, then the train sets off for a heritage rail journey through the Dee Valley. The operator says stations and carriages are transformed with spooky decorations and guests are encouraged to come in fancy dress.

The railway says the train makes a special stop close to the Berwyn Tunnel, widely regarded as Wales' most haunted location, and that passengers should watch for The Phantom Signalman, who makes mysterious appearances throughout the train as darkness falls. A specially created Halloween themed menu is served alongside a selection of Welsh real ales. Every passenger receives a Llangollen Railway branded souvenir pint cup.

A relaxed, sociable evening on a heritage train: live music before departure, Welsh real ales and a Halloween themed menu, a stop near the Berwyn Tunnel and appearances by The Phantom Signalman. Fancy dress is welcome but not compulsory.
