Market Bosworth Rail Ale Festival 2025
Friday 25th to Sunday 27th July 2025
Rail Ale Festival in full swing last year
Marquee due to be even larger this year
raising steam
The festival is being held jointly by Hinckley & Bosworth CAMRA and the Market Bosworth Battlefield Line. As always the beer hall will be in the Goods Shed and marquee at the Market Bosworth Railway Station.
There will be entertainment outside each day, with steam traction engines (both full size, and miniature) demonstrating the road transport of yesteryear. Meanwhile, on the rails, there will be trains operating throughout the weekend.
The evening live entertainment will be provided by Dr Busker (Fri & Sat nights only).
There will also be a FREE heritage bus link direct to the festival.
