All Aboard for ‘Rhythm n Rail’: The ultimate Summer Fundraising Music, Food and Drink Festival.

This summer, North Staffs Mind has teamed up with Churnet Valley Railway to hold and unforgettable event set in a stunning private venue that you can only reach by train!

The train departs from Froghall Station at 10.30, and returns from Consall at 17.21. The return rail fair and event entry is included in the ticket cost. Don’t miss the train, put Saturday 26th July in your diary and ride the rails to an amazing lineup of Live Bands, Delicious Eats, Refreshing Drinks and more! No traffic, no stress – just good vibes, fresh air and a fantastic cause.

100% of every ticket purchased goes to North Staffs Mind to help in their fight for those struggling with poor mental health in Staffordshire and Mid Cheshire to get the support they need.

The venue is very limited so tickets are in short supply. When they are gone, they are GONE!

Adult early bird tickets are just £25. Children 16 and under are £10 and children 4 and under are FREE. (Although 4 and under are free, it’s important that you still purchase a ticket for everyone attending in order for us to monitor total visitor numbers). 

There are no suitable baby changing facilities at the event.

Seating is limited to approximately 180 people, so to reduce the risk of having to stand all day, we would advise that you bring a picnic blanket or portable chairs to be on the safe side. If you are fortunate to grab a space at a table, there will be other people who will be extremely grateful to ‘look after them’ for you for the day.  

Tickets go on sale at noon 26th April 2025. … Come back here then to get yours before they go.
