October Family Fun Weekend

Dates:

5th Oct 2025

Experience a fun-filled weekend of heritage steam trains, wildlife encounters, and family adventures along the scenic River Dart. Step aboard frequent steam-hauled heritage train services and enjoy a nostalgic journey through the beautiful countryside.

To enjoy all that our Family Fun Weekend has to offer, simply select a Return or Ranger ticket option between Buckfastleigh and Totnes Riverside stations, and you will receive free entry to Buckfast Butterflies & Dartmoor Otters and to Totnes Rare Breeds Farm.

These events are popular so we recommend booking in advance to reserve your place. On arriving at the railway, check in at a booking office to receive your train tickets and entry wristbands.

With steam trains, fascinating wildlife, and plenty of family-friendly activities, this special weekend offers something for everyone to enjoy.
