Step into the race that defied the rails.
On 27 September 2025, history comes roaring back to life at Heidelberg Heritage Station as we reimagine one of the most iconic moments in motoring — the legendary 1930 showdown between a Bentley Speed Six and Le Train Bleu.
Now in its 10th year, The Great Train Race is a full-day theatrical tribute to steam, steel, and soul: a cultural spectacle for the whole family.
What to expect:

Steam trains from 1893 & 1946
150+ vintage cars & motorcycles
Biplanes, fabric-wing flyovers & aerial stunts
Costumed performers, period parades & live music
Artisan markets, museum tours & food trucks
Bernice West live performance
Best-dressed prizes: vintage attire encouraged
Kids’ zone with crafts, mini steam train rides & more

Whether you’re a vintage enthusiast, thrill-seeker, or looking for a day out with meaning, this is where elegance meets engineering and the past races into the present.
Tickets are limited, book now and be part of the legacy.
