Traditional dance groups from the Midlands and beyond will perform at stations along the Severn Valley Railway line as part of an annual Day of Dance.
The Day of Dance on Saturday 19 July will see eight ‘sides’ performing Morris and clog dances at Kidderminster, Arley, The Engine House at Highley and Bridgnorth.
Visitor engagement manager Lewis Maddox said, ‘If you love a spot of bell ringing, hanky waving and stick bashing, then you won’t want to miss this fantastic day out! Our visiting groups will perform throughout the day, accompanied by traditional musicians, and the entertainment is all included in the price of your ticket.

‘Although our line will operate between Kidderminster and Hampton Loade only, Bridgnorth station is still very much involved in the event, and will host its own traditional dance performances throughout the day.’
The northernmost section of the Severn Valley line, including Bridgnorth station, has been cut off from the rest of the line since an embankment collapse earlier this year. Work is well advanced on repairing the damage, and the full line will reopen on Friday 25 July.
