Halloween Trains

If your little ones love a good Halloween costume, the Northampton and Lamport Railway has a spooky weekend lined up, with Halloween trains running on Saturday 31st October and Sunday 1st November.

Halloween at the NLR is always Spooktacular!

We’ve got daytime ‘Hocus Pocus Trains‘ running both Saturday 31st Oct and Sunday 1st Nov, suitable for all ages.

For that extra spooky experience we also have 3 special ‘Eerie Night Express‘ trains running after dark on the Saturday (still suitable for all ages).

Extensive Halloween decorations on the train and around the station.

See website for train times and ticket prices.

Visitor attendance in Halloween fancy dress is actively encouraged! (but not mandatory)

Our ‘Platform 3 Buffet’ will be open throughout, serving hot and cold drinks, snacks and freshly prepared hot food.

As with any event listing, details like pricing and timings can change closer to the date, so it’s always worth double checking with the Northampton and Lamport Railway directly before you set off.
