The World famous Flying Scotsman locomotive is visiting the Great Central Railway Nottingham at Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre's Ruddington site, near Nottingham, in May 2026.
We're marking the relaunch of the Great Central Railway Nottingham with our Celebration Dinner evenings, served in the specially-dressed engine shed at the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre with the legendary Flying Scotsman locomotive as a backdrop. There will be a freshly-prepared three course meal served to your seat at a banquet table, live jazz and swing style music and the opportunity to visit the footplate of Flying Scotsman too. Tickets include a commemorative brochure of the locomotive's visit to Nottingham.
The evening starts with doors opening at 18:30 for a 19:00 start. See below for menu.
There will be a bar available for visitors to purchase drinks.
Whilst this event is not 'black tie', we encourage smart attire.
Important Note:
This is a static experience which occurs when Flying Scotsman is resting in the engine shed. Visitors on this experience do not travel on the train.
Freshly catered by our friends at AR&Co Nottingham.
