Great Orme Tramway Community Weekend

The Great Orme Tramway is holding its 5th Community Weekend event on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 September.

Conwy county residents can ride the Tramway with half price tickets, using the exclusive local discount.

Every year, the award-winning attraction carries around 200,000 visitors from all around the world to the Great Orme Summit. It is the UK’s only cable-hauled tramway running on a public road, and one of just three left in the world.

Luke, the Tramway manager, said: “The Community Weekend is fast becoming a tradition and it is one of our favourite days of the season. We love seeing local residents enjoying this unique historical attraction in our own back yard.

“Living in Conwy, it can be easy to take the views and attractions we have for granted. This year, the Tramway has celebrated our 122nd birthday, been listed as one of the UK’s top 10 heritage seaside attractions and featured in Michael Portillo’s Great Coastal Railway Journeys.”

Return tickets on Community Weekend for local residents will be £5.25 for adults and £3.75 for children aged 3 to 16. Children under three travel free and well-behaved dogs get their own ticket for £1.50 return.

Residents will need to bring proof of their address in Conwy County to be eligible for the offer.

The Tramway is open from 10am until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. The last tram from the summit will depart at 5:40pm.
