Victorian Fair' music' and entertainment' Victorian Swanage will celebrate the rich heritage for which the town is famed.
The promenade' beach and pier will all reflect again the character that made it a must for the holiday makers of the Victorian era.
There are ambitious plans to recreate' the symbolic first train to leave Swanage on the 20th May 1885 on the historic Swanage Steam Railway' and the iconic and romantic railway journey to the seaside enjoyed by the people of London and the North. This train will run a regular service on the beautiful reconstructed line' between Swanage and its terminal at 
Norden.
