About The Event
First stop is a visit to Buffer and Stoker in their Engine Shed. These clever Elves will help you design your own Santa Express decoration to take home with you whilst entertaining you with jokes and fun.
Full steam ahead to the Junction Shed to meet Mr P the Station Master. He has just received a delivery of Christmassy letters from Rudolph, one for every child, and your magical reindeer food ready for Christmas Eve. Mr P the Station Master will also help you make your own special wish upon a star. Conductor the Elf will then lead the way and give each child a ticket for Santa’s special children’s funfair train ride.
Then meet Santa and Mrs Claus in their cosy sitting room, where Santa will have a story for you and a present for each child, enjoy your own special time with him and there will be the opportunity for you to take that memorable photograph.
Wrap up warm and step outside onto the North Pole Station and climb aboard The Santa Express for more magical photographs. The fun doesn’t stop there, follow the snow trail to find Santa’s special Christmas ride and say “hello” to Chilly Elf and the North Pole Snowman, don’t forget the photo opportunities along the way.
