To celebrate 30 years since the official opening of Northampton & Lamport Railway we’re putting on our biggest Gala yet!

This special 3-day event will feature:
🚂Guest loco – ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway ’27’ class 0-6-0 No.52322
🚄An intensive timetable of steam and heritage diesel-hauled passenger trains and demonstration freight trains, including the ironstone tippler wagons.
🎶Live music
🍻 Pop-up beer stall
🍗 Hog roast and pizza stalls
🚌 Vintage bus rides
🎠Bouncy castle
🎁Gift and craft stalls
🚉Model railways
🤓 Behind the scenes tours (signal box and workshop)
🍦Ice cream van
And much more…

52322 will be the first tender locomotive to operate on our line in the preservation era, and only the 5th former ‘main line’ engine to run on the NLR since we re-opened to the public in 1996.
