SWANAGE Railway is offering an exciting opportunity to become a major part of an upcoming rail event.

Roads to Rail is a popular event that sees Norden Station packed full of steam traction engines, vintage cars, and full-sized trains for footplate visits.

The event also hosts a beer tent with live entertainment.

A spokesperson for the Roads to Rail said: “The event takes place at Norden Station near Corfe Castle and is packed full of steam traction engines, vintage vehicles, stalls, one of our full-sized steam locomotives for footplate visits, live music, and a beer tent - with a bit of variety each day depending on who is attending.”

“This is an outdoor event situated in a farmer's field.

“The majority of the ground is flat however mobility problems are posed in grass areas, particularly in bad weather conditions."

Now, visitors have the chance to become a sponsor for the steam rally.

Roads to Rail takes place at Norden Station on June 28 - 30.
