Both the Lavender Line and our friends Riley's Miniature Railway are looking forward to our next open days - Sunday 24th and bank holiday Monday 25th May 2026.

Entirely operated by volunteers throughout, both railways are located at the beautifully restored Isfield Station in Station Road, Isfield, East Sussex, TN22 5XB, just off the A26 between Lewes and Uckfield.

The Lavender Line will be running passenger services on the heritage railway alongside using steam locomotive Lady Lisa on the Sunday and a heritage diesel on the Monday.

Their first service will leave Isfield Station at 11:00 on both days operating a half-hourly service, with the last train at 15:30. Trains travel north to Worth Halt before returning covering a two mile round trip.

Lavender’s tea room located in the old station building will be open from 10am for light lunches, tea, coffee, cream teas, cakes & cold drinks.

Well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome on site and on the heritage railway train providing they don’t sit on the seats. Small dogs are generally able to be accommodated on the miniature train.

There is no need to book, just turn up on the day where tickets for the Lavender Line train are available from the gift shop. Cab rides available for an additional fee.
