The Royal Saloon was built by the Great Eastern Railway in 1898 and has recently been fully restored by our volunteers. The carriage was specifically built for Princess Alexandra, wife of the future King Edward VII.

In the morning we will be serving Coffee & Cake.
In the afternoon we will be serving Alison’s Cream Tea.
