Manchester Folk Train [2nd Saturday each month]

[admin]

The Manchester Folk Trains
This unusual musical entertainment is renowned among local music lovers and costs no more than an ordinary rail or Wayfarer ticket. Our enthusiastic musicians play on the train, and at Hathersage everyone alights to visit the Little John pub for liquid refreshment, entertained by a further session from the band. Food is also available and this pub is wheelchair accessible and sells REAL ALE!
The Folk Trains have proved a consistent success since their introduction, which sometimes means there is limited seating capacity in the carriage with the band. Please don't expect a formal concert - just enjoy the Folk Train for the fantastic experience it is .....!
Wayfarer tickets may offer you the best deal if you are travelling in a group or from further afield.
