Celebrate the festive season with Santa's Steam Train Adventure at Great Central Railway (Nottingham).
Departing from Ruddington Fields, enjoy an 80-minute return steam train journey through the Nottinghamshire countryside, with festive entertainment from Santa, Mother Christmas and their cheerful elves. Every child will receive a special plush steam engine gift from Santa, along with a Christmas activity book, juice and a festive baked treat, while adults can enjoy a traditional mince pie.
The festive atmosphere continues at the station with seasonal activities, the station café, vintage transport displays and, weather permitting, the miniature railway (additional charges apply).
A wonderful Christmas experience for families of all ages.
