Steam Shanty Evening
Evenings of September 14th and 21st
A brand new event for 2023, Bodmin Railway is hosting a Steam Shanty evening – expect pints, shanty songs, and steam!
The event will begin at 7pm and consist of a single branch line trip to Boscarne Junction and back. During the start, midpoint, and end of the event, passengers will be serenaded with shanty songs about Cornwall’s mining, fishing, and railway trades and history. Featuring The Lemonaires, from Mylor Bridge, Falmouth, this acapella group will get you singing along, before you steam through the Cornish countryside.
Tickets start at £19.95 and include a pasty and an arrival drink.

Murder Mystery Trains
Every Tuesday evening in September
Starting at 7 p.m., our Murder Mystery Trains have been a popular event on our railway for the last 30+ years! Join us this summer season for the ‘1930s – The Vanishing Lady’ performance, brought to you by Murder By Appointment SW and Bodmin Railway.
The disappearance of one of the passengers during the journey sparks interest and concern among the others. They must find the missing lady. But why? Who are they? And who exactly do they represent?
Watch as the story unfolds, listen out for clues, get those grey cells working, and question the cast if you wish to try and piece together the puzzle.
If you can solve the mystery, your name will be put into a draw, and you may be lucky enough to go home with the winning prize.
Tickets start at £19.95 and include a pasty and an arrival drink.
