Guests can enjoy a fireworks display along with a seven-course dinner
People are being invited on a train journey from Liverpool complete with a fireworks display. The 1930s Pullman-style Northern Belle will transport passengers through the countryside with a bird’s eye view of a 15-minute pyrotechnics display.
Setting off on Saturday, November 2, guests will be treated to champagne and a seven-course banquet prepared by head chef Matthew Green. The Northern Belle even has its own resident band to serenade passengers while a conjurer wanders through the carriages.
The train, hauled by a vintage diesel locomotive, will leave Liverpool Lime Street at 2.25pm and is scheduled to arrive back at 9.15pm. The Northern Belle’s schedule is below.
