How to dress for your British Pullman journey

With world-class food and drink, elegant Art Deco surroundings and impeccable service, the British Pullman luxury train is the perfect place to celebrate and get dressed up!

It is impossible to be overdressed on board this stunning train, so guests are welcome to dress formally, although this is not essential. Read on for more detailed pointers on how to dress for your upcoming British Pullman journey:

Special Events

‍

  • Evening trips, such as The Dinner, require more formal attire
  • Race Days - Some racecourses have specific dress codes. This information will be printed on your journey itinerary after booking

‍

Things to consider

‍

  • If your journey involves walking, it is recommended to bring a change of shoes. You can leave any items on the train during your excursion
  • Winery Tours - Most of the wineries we work with have fairly uneven ground, so it is also recommended to have comfortable shoes for these
