Santa and a helper waiting on the platform as Hawk pulls the Santa Express in Climb aboard the Santa Express and travel by steam-heated carriages to our cosy grotto at Shelley Station, where Santa will be waiting with sacks full of presents for all the children.

Adults can also join in the festivities and will be treated to mince pies and sherry (soft drink option available) in our heated marquee.

Activities will be on hand to keep the children entertained and you may wish to wrap up warm and make use of our train-themed play area.

Places are expected to fill up fast so to avoid disappointment give us a call today to book.

Pressies!!
