Make this Mother’s Day one to remember for Mum, with a trip on the RH&DR.

Not only will she be able to travel behind a world famous steam locomotive, but she will also get the chance to drive a train!

Add to mum’s experience by booking a Cream Tea & Sparkle at Hythe!

Mother’s Day Cream Tea & Sparkle: (Adults: £40pp | Children: £30pp)*

Join us at our Hythe Station for 11:30. Your party will be greeted with a glass of fizz* and guided to your table in our Hythe Hall. (*Children ages 3 - 17 will have the option of apple or orange juice).

Enjoy a scone with cream and jam (do you eat it the Cornish or the Devonshire way?) with a pot of tea or coffee, Mum can even have a top up on her bubbly, should she wish to indulge!

There are platform rides at Hythe for Mum’s to drive a train up to the signal box & back (under the watchful eye of a skilled steam train driver) and she will be presented with a certificate in recognition of her experience.

Then get ready for your steam train departure from Hythe at 12:40. You’ll arrive at New Romney for 13:15. Take a look around our Heritage Centre & our Model Railway Exhbition, then get ready for your return journey back to Hythe at 13:40.

If you’d like to upgrade your ticket to travel to Dungeness, please get in touch: info@rhdr.org
