Just by taking a small step can make us feel more connected in our community, so why not hop on board and enjoy the experience of The Chat Tea Train.
The next Chat-Tea Train will be departing from the Northwest Hub Train Station, Derry/Londonderry to Ballymoney on 6th May 2026.
We are looking forward to welcoming people on board our Chat Tea Train to Ballymoney. We have partnered with Mental Health Arts NI for this event as part of NI Mental Health Art Festival 2026. This event is open to people aged 60+ who have their travel pass card, please ensure you have your travel pass on the day. Just by taking a small step can make us feel more connected in our community, so why not hop on board and enjoy the experience of The Chat Tea Train with entertainment and the opportunity for Mindfulness & Creativity in Motion. Passengers will have the option of free time to grab a cup of tea/coffee, bite to eat or shop at their leisure in Ballymoney.
This Chat Tea Train initiative will once again benefit people in our local community who are experiencing loneliness or isolation, provide an opportunity for people to build relationships and connection in our community and reminisce about their time travelling by train and bring joy and friendship for everyone who attends.
We are asking people to please confirm their interest in attending this event with their GP Practice Social Work Team by 1st May 2026.
It is possible to get free parking at the train station, as long as you retain your parking ticket. Please be aware parking is limited and if possible, use alternative modes of transport or car share.
