Open to the public only twice a year (June and August), it is well worth bookmarking the Stapleford Steam events in your diary. The railway itself is 2 miles of narrow guage track, on which runs a miniature loco and carriages just wide enough for one. The track takes a scenic run through Stapleford Park. But the two day event is more than that - steam organs, traction engines, miniature steam engines, old cars, buses, vans etc, along with collector and craft stalls, bar and food, and you can even camp overnight. More than enough to fill a day. Parking is a little way from the site, and being on grassland, disabled access is not great. read more

Growing up in the 60s in the East Midlands wasnt complete without a trip to Stapleford Park ro ride on the steam railway. It was a sad time when it closed but since 1995 the volunteers there have retored it and what a brilliant line it is. Even better than I remeber in the 70s! They have a large fleet of steam locomotives now and it is not a ride around a circle in a park line. We saw all sorts of wildife on the trip around the park and lake including herons and a kingfisher. Many folks we know are taking their grandchildren there having gone as children themselves in the late 50s and 60s The railways website has the two open dates on which seem to be in june and the August bank holiday. We particulary like the relaxed atmosphere and loads of locations to photograph the trains from. We took a picnic and watched the trains from the car park which is in front of the hotel looking over the lake and next to the inlcine to the tunnel so you can watch the locos working hard. Brilliant day out hope they keep it going read more
