20th year Anniversary/Steam Gala

In September 2025, we're celebrating the fantastic work of the volunteer workforce who have spent the last 25 years developing the site at Riversway into the attraction you see today – We're combining this with our Autumn Steam Gala, where we'll be steaming all our available locomotives, and operating a varied and extended timetable across the weekend.

We would love to welcome visitors old & new – and we would LOVE to see any members who have been involved in the site development over the years, including those from the various founding organisations which make up today's Ribble Steam Railway.

Furness Railway No.20 in Steam
Borrows No. 48 "The King" in Steam
Barclay 1969 "J N Derbyshire" in Steam
Hunslet 2409 "King George" in Steam
RSH 7485 "Agecroft No.2" on display outside the museum
Static buffet on platform 0 selling our Real Ales
Buffet Service available on most trains throughout the day, including our own Real Ales on sale
Photo & Video Slideshows showing the site development – If you have any photos from over the years, particularly including our hard working volunteers, please do share via our contact page
