Holiday competition

Win a stay in a vintage Pullman carriage at The Old Railway Station

Host Unusual has teamed up with Stick No Bills and The Old Railway Station in Petworth for an Instagram competition to win a 2-night stay at The Old Railway Station.

Dreaming of a quirky getaway? Petworth’s old railway station has been transformed into a stunning boutique retreat. You can choose between a room in the historic Victorian station house or a night in an iconic, wood-clad Pullman carriage right on the tracks.

Stepping onto the platform at the old Petworth Station feels like a literal journey back in time. Though the last passenger train pulled out in 1955, the beautifully preserved Victorian architecture and the old Pullman carriages still hum with the golden age of rail travel.

A lucky runner-up will receive a 60 Euro voucher to spend on some stunning travel prints with Stick No Bills.

What do you win?

  • A 2-night stay in a Classic Pullman Room at The Old Railway Station in Petworth, West Sussex

The prize stay must be taken between Sunday-Thursday during either March, April, November or December 2026, excluding bank holidays/peak December dates.

One runner-up will receive: a 60 Euro (approximately £50) Stick No Bills voucher, perfect for adding a touch of classic and iconic travel inspiration to your home.
