Railway 200 Wild West Weekend

Travel back in time to the Wild West, you will be met at Sittingbourne Viaduct station by some settlers who will be protecting the train from attack. On arrival at Spearfish Creek station, there will be some form of altercation followed by a shoot-out.

After the shoot-out, you will be able to visit the settlers’ camp at and talk to the settlers to hear stories of the old west.

Let’s start the summer holidays with a bang!

About the re-enactors:

We are a group of re-enactors based in the South of England, our members have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
The group has several round-ups each year with our tents and props as great scene setters. We are all volunteers and love to strive to learn and bring to life the history of 19th century America.
Our aims are to entertain and educate the public and our members in the history of the American Wild West.
