A free Christmas event for members of the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce has been organised with the help of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.

Havenstreet Christmas Grotto is the venue for the start of festivities where members can enjoy mulled wine, mince pies and a juicy portion of networking.

Later in the afternoon the ‘IW Chamber Christmas Special’ steam train will make a round trip and ending with tea and coffee in the Calbourne Room.

Chamber general manager Dean Pascall said: “The Steam Railway is a fantastic asset to the Island, and a ride on one of their magnificent steam trains is a great way for our members to relax and take a temporary breather from the pressures of business.”
