The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway will host an immersive after-dark event combining steam trains with fire, light and sound on 5–7 November.
The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway will host FORGED, an immersive after-dark event running on 5–7 November. Passengers will board a steam train and travel through the illuminated five-mile railway before arriving at a sensory performance inspired by the furnaces, foundries and heavy engineering of Britain's industrial past.
The event will feature fire cannons, pyrotechnics, high-pressure steam, mechanical sounds and a powerful soundtrack, all synchronised with lighting and special effects. Noel Hartley, business and operations manager at KWVR, said: 'Steam locomotives are impressive at any time, but there is something very different about experiencing them after dark when you can really see the fire, steam and sheer power involved.'
Mr Hartley added that FORGED 'turns everything up several notches' and described it as 'a genuinely multi-sensory experience'. He explained the railway wanted 'something genuinely different for Bonfire Night rather than simply stage another fireworks display', and that the event 'puts the railway and its industrial heritage right at the heart of the spectacle'.
