To celebrate our 60th anniversary, and Railway 200 the Severn Valley Railway has partnered up with Bewdley Festival’s Step into Stories event, to launch a brand-new poetry competition. We want to hear from children about their memories of the Severn Valley Railway and steam trains.
Who can enter? Any child aged between 5 and 16. Poems will be judged in three age group categories:
Ages 4-7
Ages 8-12
Ages 13-16
The winners of each category will receive a Large Family ‘Freedom of the Line’ ticket, and two tickets to the Step into Stories evening concert on Saturday 12 April. Up to two runners up will also receive a prize. The winning poems will then be judged again to determine the best of the best. The winner will receive the Betti Moretti prize, awarded during the Step into Stories evening concert. Find out more about the Berri Moretti prize.
