Father’s Day is always part of a very special weekend at Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.  We’ve got two steam trains in operation, either enjoy our classic experience of riding through the Dales between Embsay and Bolton Abbey in our beautiful 1950s vintage Mark 1 coaches, or sit back and relax on our Dales Dining train, with the choice of breakfasts, carvery or Afternoon Teas.  For a little more suave, then take an extra-special Afternoon Tea in Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee Royal Saloon.

Volkswagen Type 2 Owners Club
We also have the Volkswagen type 2 Owners Club visiting us on 17th & 18th June 2023. If you love Volkswagen camper vans then there will be a lovely display at Embsay Station for you to view.

 

About Volkswagen Type 2 Owners Club
The Volkswagen Type 2 Owners Club is a national club for owners and enthusiasts of the classic Volkswagen transporter van in all its guises.

The Club is run by volunteers and aims to help its members maintain their vehicles both as preserved historic vans and as restored, or otherwise reclaimed, going concerns keeping a family travelling and camping happily.

What is a Transporter? 
With the approach of the 1950s, VW wanted to offer a light utility vehicle, but found that the Type 1 Beetle chassis was not strong enough. With its ladder-shaped chassis and unitary body construction, the Type 2 vehicle was born, and includes camper vans, panel vans, pickups and minibuses.

BOX VAN BAR

Our Box Van Bar is in Embsay car park, serving a range of cask ales, bottles of real ale from a local brewery, wine, cider and kids drinks from midday at Embsay. There are also refreshments at Bolton Abbey station and hot food available at Embsay Station.
