Christmas
Thursday 27 November to
Wednesday 24 December 2025
10:30 to 4:00

Owing to national transport problems, Father Christmas asked if we could help him out. Of course we said “Yes!” (not wanting to go on the naughty list).

So why not come and have a ride on the railway and go past Santa’s Factory? On certain days you can see Father Christmas waving at trains.

There are no personal meetings with Santa.
We do not give children a present.

We aim for no queues. Full length trains departing every 3 to 4 minutes should stop kids getting bored!

No pre-bookings – simply turn up and buy a ticket from the station shop (cash or card).

Same price as normal (£2.50 each).
