West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust WSRHT

Steam and Scream Community Event at Watchet

News of a ‘Steam and Scream Spooktacular’ at Watchet – a community event at Watchet Station and Watchet Esplanade – wickedly wonderful Halloween fun during half term week at the West Somerset Railway!

The event runs from Tuesday 29 October to Thursday 31 October 2019 from 6pm to 10pm with the Steam and Scream Ghost Train Experience taking place between 7.15pm and 9.15pm.

During the evenings of 29, 30, 31 October between 7.15pm and 9.15pm there will be a walk-through ghost train experience at Watchet Station. Dare to enter a specially created series of ghostly carriages to be greeted by hilarious haunters, giggling ghosts and ghouls galore!

Watchet Coastal Communities Team will be hosting lots more to combine with the West Somerset Railway’s Steam & Scream experience on all three evenings. Click here for more details.

DO YOU:

Love a bit of history?

Enjoy chatting to people?

Happy to work with children and families?

Keen on the WSR and its heritage?

If you’ve nodded “yes” to any of the above, we’d love you to join us as a museum volunteer.

Gauge Museum at Blue Anchor

We’re looking for volunteer stewards for the Gauge Museum at Blue Anchor Station on running days during the school holidays and for special events.

You’ll have an induction period alongside a mentor, and we’re very happy to arrange part-day shifts.

The role is simple: welcome visitors, share a little about the museum, and work alongside the station staff.

Interested (or just curious)? Please email Ian Camp (Curator) via info@wsrht.co.uk and put “Blue Anchor stewarding” in the subject line.

Fancy getting involved over at Bishops Lydeard?

We’re on the lookout for more friendly faces to join our team, especially as the museum is getting bigger and busier these days!

If Bishops Lydeard sounds like your kind of place, just drop us a line using the same email, but pop “Bishops Lydeard stewarding” in the subject so we know what you’re after!

And don’t forget – you can always support the WSRHT by becoming a member. Just ping us at info@wsrht.co.uk and pop “membership” in the subject line.

Keep up with what we’re doing, follow the Trust on Facebook!
