The £10 ticket per person covers the whole experience, including the vintage bus from East Grinstead Station to Kingscote Station, the Golden Arrow train experience (including lunch and wine pairings), and the wine tasting and gourmet BBQ at Highweald Wine Estate.

The ticket does not include travel to or from East Grinstead Station.

The Golden Arrow Pullman departs from Kingscote Station. Upon arrival at East Grinstead station, you will be taken to Kingscote Station on a vintage bus, meaning you don’t need to organise your own transport to Kingscote (only to and from East Grinstead Station).

You must organise your transport to and from East Grinstead Station in the morning and the evening.

If you’re travelling from London, there are frequent trains from London Victoria. You can book your train journeys via the Uber app.

You must arrive at East Grinstead Station by 11:15 at the latest. You will later be dropped back off at East Grinstead Station at approximately 19:30.

Please note that we cannot wait for any late arrivals, so if you miss the connecting bus, you must make your own way to Kingscote station by 12:15 to board the train.

However, if you book a table of four for a group of three, you will have a spare seat on your table.
