Bus Timetables

As the Beer & Music event grows busier each year, we’re now running trains longer than Oakworth’s platforms. Combined with the traditional gas lighting, this means that after 5:00 pm on Friday and Saturday evenings, trains will not be stopping at Oakworth or Damems (please check the event timetable for full details).

But don’t worry—we’ve made sure Oakworth residents can still get to the party! A free evening bus service will run on both Friday and Saturday, linking Oxenhope station and Oakworth village (note: the bus cannot serve Oakworth station directly).

📍 Bus route: From the top of Oxenhope station car park, the bus will travel via Moorhouse Lane, Marsh Lane, Sun Street, Rawdon Road, Mytholmes Lane and Providence Lane, stopping on the main road near Station Road. Drop-offs can also be made at stops along the way if needed.

🚌 Bus times (from Oxenhope)

19:40
21:15
22:50

Journey time is around 15 minutes.

The Keighley Bus Company service B3 connects Oxenhope with Hebden Bridge Railway Station, providing onward connections to Halifax, Manchester, and East Lancashire until early evening. The bus stops on the road near the entrance to the station car park. You can view the full timetable on The Keighley Bus Company website.

For event-goers, we’re also offering a free evening shuttle along the same route on Friday and Saturday of the event.

📍 Route: Departing from the top of Oxenhope station car park, the bus will make set-downs on request at Peckett Well and Hebden Bridge Albert Street, before ending at Hebden Bridge Railway Station.

🚌 Evening departures from Oxenhope:

20:20
21:55

Journey time is approximately 25 minutes.

Glasses and Tokens

When you purchase an Adult Weekend Event Rover or an Adult Event Day Rover for Friday or Saturday in advance, a Festival Glass is included as part of your ticket.

If you’re visiting on Thursday or Sunday, or attending without advance booking, you can buy a Festival Glass for £5.00.

The 2026 Festival Glass features our official logo and comes in two styles, available on a first-come, first-served basis:

Pint glass (also marked for half-pints)
Festival Tankard

Please note, Festival Glasses are non-refundable and yours to keep as a special memento from the event. You can collect them at Ingrow, Keighley, and Oxenhope stations. If you choose not to purchase a glass or don’t have one, disposable plastic glasses will be provided at the bar.

As with many festivals, all drinks at the Beer & Music Festival are purchased with tokens, not cash.

Where can I use tokens?
You can spend your drink tokens at:

Oxenhope – All bars except the Bytchmix Rum Cocktail Bar.
Ingrow – All bars except the Tipsy Gee Gee Cocktail Bar.
On-Train Bars – Accepted for all drinks.
The Old Parcels Office – Accepted for Bingley Brewery cask ales only.

What does a token get me?

A single token typically gets you half a pint of most draught beers or ciders.
Some stronger or premium drinks may require extra tokens or come in smaller measures.
Tokens can also be used to purchase wine or gin & tonic at Oxenhope, with pricing varying by drink.

Pricing:

1 Drink Token: £2.50
Token Card (6 tokens): £15.00

Where to buy tokens:

Available at Oxenhope, Ingrow & Keighley stations
Also sold on both on-train bars
We accept cash and credit/debit cards

A few important notes:

Tokens are valid all weekend (Thursday to Sunday), so feel free to carry them over day to day.
Tokens are non-refundable and cannot be used after the event – buy only what you plan to use.
No cash machines at stations – please plan ahead. The nearest ATMs are:
- Keighley: ASDA supermarket, 3-minute walk from the station
- Haworth: SPAR store opposite the station
- Oxenhope: CO-OP store, 10-minute walk from the station into the village

General Information

The Beer and Music Festival, along with all activities on the Railway, are brought to you by our volunteers who give up their free time to organise and run this event and all the operational and maintenance activities which allow our trains to run. We always need more volunteers, so please see the Volunteering page on the KWVR website for more information if you are interested in joining us.

Challenge 25

The Railway operates the ‘Think 25’ policy with regard to the sale and consumption of alcohol. If you are lucky enough to look under 25 you will be asked to prove that you are at least 18 years of age, so please ensure you bring an appropriate ID with you. Please do not be offended if asked; if only we were all lucky enough to still look young!

We will have a stock of ‘Age Verified’ wristbands to avoid you getting asked for ID on multiple occasions.

Children under five travel free on our trains, and children aged 5 to 15 can travel at reduced fares.

Accompanied children are welcome in our Festival Venues at Oxenhope and Ingrow until 2000 and are admitted free. According to the Licensing Act 2003, unaccompanied children cannot attend our Festival Venues at Oxenhope and Ingrow. Please remember that the event can get jam-packed sometimes, and some music can be very loud.

Due to their busy and loud nature, dogs are prohibited from the Exhibition Shed at Oxenhope and The Marquee at Ingrow-West on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at the event and on our trains on Thursday, provided their owners ensure they do not distract the train or inconvenience other customers. In addition, dogs are not allowed onto carriage seats.

Please remember that the event can get jam-packed sometimes, and some music can be very loud. Please consider your dog’s well-being and do not bring it along if crowds or loud music may distress it.
