The Platinum Jubilee Weekend at ELR, taking place over the June bank holiday, will now be a colourful celebration of the time – specifically the late 1940s and early 1950s – with live music, dancing classes and vintage stalls and cars at Ramsbottom and Bury stations.
There will be ‘old timey’ activities and entertainment for the whole family up and down the 12-mile line, and train enthusiasts will have the chance to admire steam and heritage diesel train legends from the era, including the Observation Saloon and Vintage Bar Car.
Put on your best polka dot dress, polish your dancing shoes and join the East Lancashire Railway as we celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of her Majesty the Queen.
Climb aboard a heritage steam train and celebrate the best of 1940s Britain. Listen to live music and browse the stalls at this vintage spectacular.
There’s fun for all the family. Up and down the 12-mile line, at every station on the ELR, you’ll find stunning acts like Paul Harper, the Lancashire Belle, The Washboard Resonators and many more. A host of vintage stalls will offer clothing and memorabilia and you can even get your groove on with the Backstep Boogie Club.
