Mothering Sunday

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 or a Ploughman’s Lunch at The Heywood Buffet.

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 tea room/hall.

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!

Then get ready for your steam train departure from Hythe at 12:40 and the marsh is your oyster!

  • There are platform rides at New Romney for Mum to drive a train!
