Group visits
The Isle of Wight Steam Railway loves group business, and we'll make you and your group or coach party feel very welcome!
We know how important it is for tour operators, group party organisers and coach operators to give good quality service and good value-for-money within their holidays and day-tours, and our aim is the same. We pride ourselves on offering you a package to include in your tours that will enthrall your guests of any age, as we take them on a nostalgic experience of yesteryear!
As a living, breathing, working museum, the Steam Railway is a popular and fascinating destination for all age groups. Beautifully restored Victorian and Edwardian carriages, often hauled by 19th century locomotives, take the visitor on a leisurely 10 mile journey through the Island's unspoilt countryside.
There's always something to interest everyone in the group ... For example, most compartments on the train display vintage advertisements representing products and prices from days gone by - Days when you could buy a plot of land for £35, and three-course lunch at the Charing Cross Hotel cost three shillings and sixpence!
We welcome all enquiries and we will do all we can to ensure your group' visit is enjoyable and trouble-free.
