HERITAGE DAY '24 SHUTTLE RIDES

About THE HERITAGE DAY EVENT:

All aboard the Heritage Day Train!

Travel in style aboard a restored Tait Electric Train to Eaglemont Village's Heritage Day celebration on Sunday 11th AUGUST. For a relaxed day out with family and friends, leave the car at home and jump aboard the Red Rattler at Flinders Street Station and journey through the northern suburbs to the 97 year old village situated to the foot of Eaglemont Station.

Disembark the train and follow the crowd as they make their way to the charming village where the festivities take place. The Heritage Day celebrations kick off at 10am with a makers' markets, live music, food aplenty, and family-friendly entertainment. Entry is free for all. Every Red Rattler Rider receives a souvenir train ticket to add to their collection. Simply visit the Ticket Booth in Eaglemont Village before or after your shuttle ride.

Enjoy barista style coffee from one of the village cafes, explore the quaint precinct, grab a bite to eat from the many food outlets, check out the art exhibition hosted by Heidelberg Artist Society, and perhaps take in the tunes from local musicians whilst enjoying a cold beverage, before making your way back to Eaglemont Station for your departure to Flinders Street Staion at 3.00pm.
