The Heritage Railway Association Autumn Conference is coming to the South West of England. This two-day event in Torquay will feature the usual high-quality speakers, great networking opportunities and the latest insight for the sector.
Our venue for the event is the Riviera International Centre, which is close to Torquay rail station and has ample parking for those arriving by car.
Among the subjects expected to be highlighted at this event are fundraising, online marketing and permanent way. We'll be confirming the full list of speakers and topics soon.
Our Autumn Conference is the biggest of the year and is widely considered to be a must-do event among heritage rail directors, trustees, managers and leaders.
