About
A festive steam-train journey with Mother Christmas, elves and Santa, with seasonal treats and a gift for every child.
The railway describes a festive steam-train journey with Mother Christmas, cheeky elves and Santa on board. Each child receives a gift, activity book, juice and sweet treat; adults receive a mince pie. Fox & Edwards describes the return journey as approximately 55 minutes, but no departure times are published in the captured event page, so no start or end clock is assigned. Dogs are not permitted on this journey except assistance dogs. An optional festive treat tin is sold separately.
