The Bluebell Line is a heritage steam railway located in the heart of the Sussex countryside. The operational line runs from Sheffield Park to Kingscote and the round trip takes approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.

We are planning to have a dedicated coach or (if we can get enough people coming) our own dedicated train. Lunch (a single course – drinks and extras at your own expense) is included in the price of this trip and can be taken in the station restaurant either before or after your train trip.

Hopefully the bluebells will be in full bloom providing a spectacular sight over sections of the line.

The engine sheds at Sheffield Park are open to the public, and if a volunteer is available they are normally to provide a guided tour (but this is not guaranteed). However there is normally someone around who is competent to field all but the most obscure of questions.

The associated museum is currently being refurbished but may possibly be open in time for our visit.

The National Trust Sheffield Park Gardens are just one mile from the station and provides 120 acres of garden, peaceful walks, and lakes originating from the 18th century and was created with the assistance of Capability Brown.
The coach journey is approximately 62 miles and being across country will probably take around 1 hour 30 minutes.
