IOW Steam Railway: Summer Cider & Sausages

16 – 17 May 2026
Isle of Wight Steam Railway – Havenstreet, Ryde

The Isle of Wight Steam Railway brings together great food, live music and heritage charm for its Summer Cider & Sausages weekend at Havenstreet.

Set within the nostalgic surroundings of the station, this event is all about simple pleasures – from sizzling gourmet sausages to refreshing local ciders, all alongside the sights and sounds of steam trains in action.

What to expect:

  • A wide selection of local ciders, from traditional to fruit-infused
  • Freshly grilled, locally sourced sausages
  • Live music across both days (13:00 – 16:00)
  • Steam trains arriving and departing throughout the day
  • Festival of Transport on Sunday, featuring a range of classic vehicles

Entry to the festival at Havenstreet is FREE.

If you wish to board the steam train, usual operating day fares apply – book in advance to reserve your space. Families can also enjoy great value, with up to three children travelling free with every full-paying adult ticket.
