Recently, this part of the railway has grown almost explosively, with an annual 'Beer & Music Festival' now a firm fixture in the railway's calendar. Held in late October, what started out as a weekend event is now a three- or four-day extravaganza, with four days' worth of live music, consistently offering over 100 different beers to choose from. However, to some degree the event is a victim of its own success. Despite hiring in extra catering and toilet facilities, congestion is an issue and it is not unknown for emergency orders of extra beer being necessary on the Saturday to prevent the Sunday being a "dry" event.
