The Llangollen and Corwen Railway has announced a brand-new Father’s Day experience for Sunday 21 June – combining heritage steam travel, award-winning food and a pint in the stunning surroundings of the Dee Valley.
The specially created Father’s Day Ploughman’s Pint Special will run on two steam-hauled services during the day at 12.20pm and 3.15pm, with places limited to just 60 passengers per journey.
Passengers will enjoy a scenic return trip aboard the railway’s heritage trains through the beautiful Dee Valley, alongside a specially prepared Ploughman’s Lunch produced by the highly regarded Powell’s Pies of Whitchurch.

Jordan Edge, Catering Manager at the railway, said, “We wanted to create something that felt relaxed, traditional and really good value for Father’s Day. Working with Powell’s Pies is a perfect fit for us because, like the railway, they are passionate about heritage, quality and keeping traditional skills alive.
“The Dee Valley is one of the most beautiful places in the country to enjoy a steam train journey, and adding fantastic local food and a pint makes this the ultimate Father’s Day treat.”
The railway expects tickets to sell quickly due to limited availability and is encouraging passengers to book early to avoid disappointment.
