Booking information
Tickets are available ONLINE ONLY - please do not call, message or email to make a booking as we will not be able to help.
PLEASE NOTE:
Seats aboard The Wizard Express are allocated. Any tickets booked together on one order will be seated together with no social distancing.
We therefore insist that bookings are made for no more than six people or two households maximum.
Separate social bubbles should make separate bookings.
Any bookings made for more than six people or with more than three adults will be automatically put on hold pending questioning by KLR staff.
This October half term, join the Fun Cast Character Company's Masters & Mistresses of Wizarding Mayhem on The Wizard Express!
Junior witches & wizards-in-the-making are invited to step aboard our spectacular steam train express which will transport them to Wizarding Class at Shelley Station.
PLEASE NOTE: The initial amount of tickets released for sale will allow us to run the event at half capacity to allow for social distancing. If social distancing is no longer necessary as we get closer to the event, we will release further tickets at a later date.
What's happening on the day?
On the day of your visit, you will be booked onto a specific train departure time which will transport you from Clayton West Station to Shelley Station where you'll take part in a spellbinding Wizard School, where our magical guests will help all the wannabe witches/wizards learn everything they need to know for a life of broomstick-riding, wand-waving & potion-making!
The time you select when making your booking is the time your train departs from Clayton West Station - don't be late or you might end up on the wrong side of She Who Can't Possibly be Named!
However, you will be welcome to arrive at Clayton West Station to use the facilities from 10am, with the facilities closing at 5pm sharp each day.
All THIS is included in your ticket price:
- Return steam train ride (25 minutes each way)
- A spellbinding 20 minute Wizard School
- All day access to the outdoor playground at Clayton West
- Wizard-themed trail
- Tram platform rides
- Rides on the Clayton Flyer miniature railway
- Wizarding craft activities (subject to COVID restrictions)
Fancy dress is encouraged!

Visitors will book onto a specific train departure time, with trains departing every hour from 10am until the last service at 3pm.
Visitors will spend 40 minutes at Shelley Station before their return train ride, but can spend as long as they like at Clayton West Station before/after their journey.

Visitors from separate social/support bubbles should make their bookings separately so we can allocate seating with the necessary social distancing in place - this may not be necessary come October but we are being cautious for now.
For the purpose of this event, a child is classed as aged 2-16 years. It is assumed that children under the age of 2 will sit on laps on the train journey and will not participate in the Wizard School. Any child under the age of 2 who requires their own seat and/or wishes to take part in the interactive class should be bought a full-price child's ticket.
Please note that this is a child-focussed event and adult-only bookings will not be permitted for safeguarding reasons. All adult tickets should be purchased alongside at least one full-price child's ticket and vice versa.
What are the COVID secure measures?
The initial amount of tickets released for sale will allow us to run the trains at half capacity to allow for social distancing. If social distancing is no longer necessary as we get closer to the event, we will release further tickets at a later date.
We're led by UK Government guidance but - at the time of writing - we anticipate the following may need to be adhered to:
- All visitors over the age of 11 years are required to wear a face mask/covering until further notice when on our trains or inside our station facilities (unless they have a valid exemption). This is a UK Government directive applicable in England for the health & well being of the nation
- Please remember that we are a family attraction & offensive face masks will not be tolerated
- Until social contact restrictions are lifted, please only book for your immediate household/social bubble
- Until further notice, visitors will be permitted to gather in groups of not more than two households or within the 'rule of six' when OUTDOORS at the KLR but not when on the trains, where social distancing must still be maintained until social contact limits are eased
- Do not visit if you or anyone in your social bubble are experiencing even mild COVID symptoms
- Maintain your social distance at all times from people you are not visiting with
- When taking a seat on board, remember to sit in your group only & to leave one whole compartment of four empty seats between your group & the next group along. Please do not spread out unnecessarily
- Wash/sanitise your hands regularly
- Provide your contact details for track & trace
- Follow the one-way systems & other instructions on site
- Use contactless payments wherever possible
CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY
Once purchased, tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable unless the service is cancelled by the railway.
If a service operates as scheduled but a ticket holder is unable to attend/use their tickets, no refund will be given.
If you find yourself unable to travel due to COVID government restrictions or because of COVID self-isolation, please email us at least 48 hours before your date of travel & we can offer you some options.
The Kirklees Light Railway will do its best to operate the advertised train services. Should the KLR cancel an advertised train, tickets may be transferred to an alternative train (subject to availability) or a full refund may be given.
VOUCHERS, OFFERS, PROMOTIONS, DISCOUNTS & GROUPONS ARE NOT VALID FOR THIS EVENT.
