Glanwern sits quietly in Dyfed with enough charm to keep you from needing to travel far for a good time. With no venues listed on our books just yet, the local pubs and parks are doing all the heavy lifting until things get sorted. We'll be watching closely so you don't have to search high and low for what's actually happening. Keep an eye on this page when word spreads that a festival or fair is coming to town. Until then, just enjoy the fact that you're in a place where the tea is hot and the neighbours are friendly. We'll update everything as soon as something new lands on our doorstep so you can plan your week without stress.

Victorian Train Day

@ No.1 ‘Tal-y-llyn’ at Nant Gwernol, A blend of a 2020s photo with an 1870s photo – Luke Ryan & Talyllyn Collection The Talyllyn Railway is unique in that both original locomotives and all the passenger carriages that were built for the opening of the Railway in the mid-1860s survive to this day and are still in regular use, so let us invite you to step back in time to the Era of Queen Victoria and travel through untouched and unparalleled Snowdonian scenery aboard The Victorian Train. From left to Right: No.1 ‘Tal-y-llyn’, built in 1864, and No.2 ‘Dolgoch’, built in 1866, posed for a photograph at Pendre c.1903 – Talyllyn Collection The train will be hauled by No.1 ‘Tal-y-llyn’ or No.2 ‘Dolgoch’, two of the oldest working steam locomotives in the World.The Victorian Train departs Tywyn Wharf Station at 11am and at 2:10pm.Along the way there will be a stop at Dolgoch Station where you can alight from the train and watch the engine take water from the original slate water column, fed straight from the impressive Dolgoch Falls. Each Victorian Train day will be a little different rom the last, with different combintions of rolling stock utilised – some will be a double header with the Talyllyn and Dolgoch while and others will have heritage slate waggons form part of the train!

‘Wagons on the P/Way’ – Photo CharTRs

@ The Preservation Pioneers had a hard task ahead of them relaying the Railway in the early 1950s – and even the best volunteers need a hand from time to time.We invite you to join us for a photographic day with No.2 ‘Dolgoch’ at the head of an era-appropriate 1950s Permanent Way train, complete with loaded wagons and re-enactors! The day will begin at 7:30am at Tywyn Wharf Station, with the train departing at 8:00am. No.2 ‘Dolgoch’ with a collection of assorted wagons – Alan Chorlton/Talyllyn Collection The Talyllyn Railway was in a sorry state when the Preservation Society took over operations in 1951, with the saying “Don’t disturb the turf around the Rails” being used predominantly – as it was the only thing keeping the tack to gauge!It was apparent a full re-lay of the line was in order, so the pioneering volunteers took to the task. Frequent permanent way trains were run, formed of the rotting wagons at the TRs disposal – predominantly of the iron bodied types. In 1953 salvation came in the form of the Territorial Army who, on a training exercise, assisted the volunteers with the track renewal work. The Territorial Army at work on Dolgoch Viaduct – Talyllyn Collection The Territorial Army enjoyed multiple visits to the TR on training exercises following this, even rebuilding part of Dolgoch Viaduct.
