About

Weardale Railway’s much-loved Gin & Cheese Train is back by popular demand this autumn, with the second event of 2025 taking place on Saturday 25 October – and tickets are already selling fast.

In partnership with Teesdale Cheesemakers and WL Distillery, the three-hour round trip from Bishop Auckland West to Stanhope will treat passengers to spectacular views of the Durham Dales while sampling the very best in local food and drink.

On board, guests will be welcomed with a drink before enjoying four artisan gins, including two handcrafted spirits from Durham-based WL Distillery – paired with a curated tasting of five cheeses, featuring award-winning varieties from Teesdale Cheesemakers, produced on their family farm near Barnard Castle.

The train departs from Bishop Auckland at 1pm, with tickets priced at £60 and only available in groups of two or four.
