The Severn Valley Railway is set to host a free entry food and craft fayre next week. 

The heritage railway said there will be dozens of vendors offering tasty treats as well as stalls selling handmade goods. 

The event will take place at The Engine House at Highley on Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25. 

Nadia Attwell, the SVR's assistant commercial manager, said: "Dozens of suppliers will be offering treats to tempt the palate and there will be a range of handmade goods. 

"Stalls will be nestled among our full-size locomotives and carriages on display at The Engine House which is just a few minutes walk from Highley Station."

The Engine House will be open from 10.30am until 5pm each day with the last entry being at 4.30pm. 

Entry to the food and craft fayre is free but there is no on-site parking. 

The SVR advises that the best way to ensure an enjoyable day out is to take a heritage train to The Engine House. 

Freedom of the Line tickets allow travel along the full length of the line for an entire day or passengers can purchase a short journey ticket to Highley from either Kidderminster or Bridgnorth.
