Harbour Station


Internal view looking towards the cafe


Spooner's is the current name for the FR's café and bar at Harbour station. It is named after the Spooner family who were closely associated with the engineering (both civil and mechanical) and management of the Festiniog Railway during the 19th century.

Spooner's is open throughout the year. For details of opening times, visit the FR website.

The bar is situated in the old goods shed and has grown to take over all of the available space, displacing the museum. Princess and Topsy are on display in the bar, along with a number of other artifacts, but the remainder of the museum collection is currently in store. The bar won the "Pub of the Year" award for 2005 from the local branch of CAMRA.
