Weddings at Swanage Railway

A wedding journey unlike any other

Celebrate your wedding day aboard one of Dorset’s most distinctive heritage railways.

Swanage Railway offers a memorable setting for couples looking for something a little different, combining historic stations, heritage carriages and beautiful views across the Purbeck countryside.

From a champagne reception aboard the newly refurbished Devon Belle to unforgettable photographs and the opportunity to transport your guests between locations, the railway can become part of the story of your day.

 

A champagne reception aboard the Devon Belle

Welcome your guests aboard the Devon Belle for an elegant drinks reception with a difference.

With its beautifully refurbished interiors, the heritage carriage offers a characterful setting for champagne, conversation and time together after the ceremony. Guests can relax, enjoy the atmosphere and take in the passing countryside as the train travels along the line.

It is a wonderful way to bring everyone together and create a natural transition into the celebrations ahead.

 

Wedding photographs with character

Swanage Railway provides a wide range of distinctive backdrops for your wedding photographs.

Capture the moment beside a steam locomotive, beneath the station canopy or aboard one of our heritage carriages. From the traditional charm of Swanage Station to the historic surroundings of Corfe Castle, there are plenty of opportunities to create photographs that feel personal, timeless and completely different from a traditional wedding venue.
