A Warm Welcome For Groups
Seaton Tramway is a great day out for all age groups, and even more fun when you're travelling with a like-minded group! We have open toppers and enclosed saloons, giving a comfortable ride whatever the weather. Pre-booked groups are welcome all year round, even out of season.The average seating capacity is around 35 per tram, but several trams can operate together for large groups. There is no extra charge for this - you simply pay the agreed rate per person. Although we can take late bookings, we advise that you reserve well in advance, which allows us to provide a tram exclusively for your use and to cater for any special needs you may have.
It takes 25 minutes to travel from end to end. We recommend a break at Colyton or Seaton to explore these interesting towns. Colyton station includes the well-stocked shop, which has a wide range of tram-related souvenirs and unique gifts to suit all budgets.
The Tram Stop Restaurant at Colyton Station offers an extensive menu of hot meals and snacks, a menu can be sent to you on request. Light refreshments, Lunches, Cream Teas, or Dinner can be booked in advance, for example Cream Tea £4.00, Two Course lunch £8.50 and Buffet lunch £6.00. It is possible to reserve table space at certain times of the year. For details, telephone the restaurant direct on 01297 552094 or 552717.
The Colyton Wagon Wanderer provides horse drawn trips between Colyton Station and Colyton town centre. Groups are advised to book in advance by calling Sylvia Voysey on (01297) 553290 or 07967 128737.
