All Aboard the “Feilding Matariki Special”! | Pahiatua to Feilding Return

A Journey of Stars and Heritage

Celebrate Matariki with an unforgettable heritage rail experience.

Clamber aboard our Standard Railcar RM31 ‘TOKOMARU’ and feel the rhythm of the tracks as we transport you to Friendly Feilding.

Our special service departs from Pahiatua and makes pick-ups at Woodville, Ashhurst, and Palmerston North on its way to Feilding. Passengers from Pahiatua and Woodville get the added experience of travelling through the spectacular Manawatu Gorge.

The Main Event: Feilding in Lights

Arriving in Feilding, passengers will have a generous 4 hours to soak in the atmosphere. Explore the town’s heritage, its shops, cafes, and visit Feilding and Districts Steam Rail to ride their Lights Train.

As the sun sets, join the public for the spectacular public launch of Feilding in Lights, in the Town Square featuring the lighting of the Clock Tower, fireworks, live entertainment, display of the Community Light Project and the Tractor Light Parade.

This will be the perfect, festive highlight of your day.
