A historic railway is offering unique experiences over the next few months.

The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway will host a series of vintage-themed events, including steam-hauled suppers and afternoon teas, before autumn sets in.

The last chance to ride the popular Haworth Haddock train this year will be on Saturday, September 13.

Passengers can enjoy traditional fish and chips as they travel through the Worth Valley countryside.

Back at Keighley station, live music will provide a lively atmosphere.

The last Haddock of the season typically sells out, so early booking is recommended.

For a more leisurely experience, the railway’s Classic Afternoon Tea offers vintage elegance and picturesque views.

Available on selected dates throughout September and October, guests can savour a variety of sandwiches, scones, and cakes aboard restored carriages.

The railway is also providing a 20 per cent discount on Day Rover tickets for visitors aged 65 and over on September 24.

This offer includes unlimited travel on the five-mile heritage line and access to its stations and museums.

With a history spanning over 150 years and a role in the original Railway Children film, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway remains a cherished Yorkshire attraction.
