From afternoon tea experiences to leisurely lunch options, there is something for everyone, making these events ideal as a pre-wedding treat or thoughtful wedding gift. New for 2026 is the Murder Mystery Curry Express, an immersive experience that transports passengers back to the 1940s. Guests will meet characters from the quiet Cornish village of Morlington Hill and work together to solve a thrilling murder mystery, all while enjoying a freshly prepared curry served on board. By travelling along this picturesque heritage railway from Tunbridge Wells West to Eridge, and by booking special events such as the dining trains, guests are helping Spa Valley Railway work towards its £400,000 fundraising goal. These vital funds are needed to replace a key bridge on the line between Tunbridge Wells West and Groombridge stations.
