Children’s Parties

A party at Kemsley Down on the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway is something your children and their friends will vividly remember. A steam train ride, a party and so much more….. how much depends on you. We will ensure the venue is decorated for the party. Just tell us what you would like!

Parties are normally held in the Footplate Cafe at Kemsley Down, but subject to weather conditions may be held outside. The maximum number of children that we can cater for in the cafe is 20 on a normal operating day. If the Marquee is available this may be offered as an alternative to the cafe. A deposit of the minimum charge is required at time of booking and is non-returnable unless cancelled more than 14 days prior to the party.
