Charity Curry Train

Saturday 13th April 2024, Departing Froghall at 1800

Join us for a curry evening on the Churnet Valley Railway to raise money for Tommy’s Baby Loss charity and Manchester Children’s Hospital.

Three members of Leek Hockey Club are running the 2024 London marathon. Emma, Hazel and Gemma are taking on the 26.2 mile run around the streets of London whilst raising money for charity. Hazel is also running the Chester 50 mile Ultra marathon!

These causes are incredibly close to their hearts and to many others. 
 
Emma had the awful experience of  miscarriage with her first pregnancy and was continually supported by Tommy's. Hazel is in here 10th year of fundraising for Manchester Children's Hospital after her first son Rufus passed away there, and her second son Fox is under their care to help manage his blood clotting disorder, Haemophilia.
 
They are very aware that the life changing events that has happened to them has also happened to, and affect many others. They want to raise money for these charities not only in memory of their children, but also many others to have suffered. 

All profits from ticket sales will be shared evenly between the 2 charities 

We endeavour to supply all the items listed in our menu. Supply chain problems are being experienced at the moment and we reserve the right to substitute items at short notice. Our food is delivered daily for our trains, therefore sometimes we only know of an issue on the day.

Unfortunately we are unable to offer vegan, dairy free, nut free products, halal meat and any other dietary requirements.

Please make sure to list if there are any gluten free or vegetarian passengers in your party in the special instructions.
