On Monday 29 June 2026, we were delighted to welcome guests aboard the iconic British Pullman, a Belmond train, for the inaugural Full Steam Ahead in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Guests enjoyed an unforgettable journey from London to Margate, with exclusive visits to some of the town's most inspiring creative spaces, including Dame Tracey Emin's private studio, TKE Studios, Carl Freedman Gallery and Counter Editions and Turner Contemporary.

Bringing together art, culture and philanthropy, the day was made possible thanks to the generosity of our partners, supporters and volunteers. Their support will help Macmillan continue to provide practical, emotional and financial support to people living with cancer.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the inaugural Full Steam Ahead such a memorable success.
