Held across both our stations and on board the trains, our Real Ale Festival returns from 26 to 28 July, for its 11th year!

• Over 70 Real Ales and 15 Real Ciders
• Leave the car at home! Connecting vintage London bus service from Epping station (London Underground Central Line, zone 6) and Shenfield on all days
• Heritage steam and diesel hauled train services in operation all three days and running until late evening Friday and Saturday
• Tickets offer unlimited travel on heritage train and bus services
• On board Real Ale bars

The event has grown over the years and we expect this trend to continue - expect more beers, lots of trains and more fun in 2024!

See the main website for details of the Real Ale and Ciders available, together with train and connecting vintage London bus timetables.
