Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th August 2004 must have been the busiest the station had been since closure. There was much to entertain locals and enthusiast alike, with displays from the Somerset Coal Canal, Wildspace Project, Local Tourist Board & Somerset & Dorset Railway Heritage Trust. There was also a bouncy castle and light refreshments. Saturday night featured a 'Special Evening Event' at Midsomer Norton Town Hall with a 3 course meal and a film show.
