The Severn Valley Railway is making family adventures more affordable than ever with the launch of its ‘Kids for a Quid’ offer for the May half-term holiday from 24 May to 1 June.

For just £1 per child, families can enjoy an unforgettable heritage rail journey through the stunning Severn Valley countryside.

With every adult Freedom of the Line ticket purchased, up to four children (aged 4–17) can travel for only £1 each, offering amazing value for a full day of heritage railway excitement.

Whether it’s spotting wildlife, exploring the authentic period stations along the route, or enjoying the charm of steam and heritage diesel locomotives, there’s something to delight passengers of all ages. With attractions at every stop, including The Engine House Visitor Centre at Highley and riverside walks in Bewdley, the Severn Valley Railway is the perfect destination for a half-term day out.

Lewis Maddox, Visitor Engagement Manager said: "‘Our offer is all about making it easier for families to create lasting memories together. We want as many people as possible to experience the magic and excitement of heritage rail travel without breaking the bank.

"Plus, between 26 and 30 May, Train Time UK is back at The Engine House. This giant-sized children’s train set was a huge hit during the Easter holidays, and we’ve brought it  back again to entertain and stimulate young minds."

The SVR is running services along a 12-mile route between Kidderminster and Hampton Loade, with Bridgnorth station still cut off following a landslip earlier this year.

The offer is valid for travel on any day from Saturday 24 May to Sunday 1 June 2025, and as always, children aged three and under travel free.

Tickets for the half-term holiday are available to pre-book online now at svr.co.uk, and the discount will be applied at the checkout stage. Tickets are also available to purchase on the day at any SVR booking office.
