Panto Express With Father Christmas
See Father Christmas whilst enjoying a steam train ride AND watch a pantomime – all in one amazing Christmas experience! This year, it’s bigger and better than ever!
***Please note that you will only be able to amend, or change your order by creating an account. We recommend you do this to manage your booking.***
Start your journey with our family-friendly pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, in our festive Visitor Centre. Enjoy your performance and then make your way to the Booking Hall to board the steam train. You will be shown to your compartment where you will be visited by Father Christmas, who makes his way along the train to present a special golden ticket to all the children.
After the train ride, your adventure continues in the museum with our brand-new experience! You will be magically transported to Santa’s workshop, where you can meet Mrs Claus and the elves, and your child can exchange their golden ticket for a gift of their choice.
Choose between our Gold or Silver private compartments, exclusively for your group, or our Bronze Tickets within a shared compartment.
*** Pre-booking for Christmas is essential **
- Your allocated train ride will be after your pantomime.
- Your 'Arrive by' time will be printed on your tickets, all other times will be on display on the day.
- We open at 10am, along with our shop and cafe.
- You may arrive before your 'Arrive By' time and spend time in our Visitor Centre enjoying the huge Christmas tree, decorations, shop and cafe, and you can stay as long as you like - we close at 6pm.
- The Miniature Railway will NOT be open.
- Don't forget to include babies (12 months and under) on your booking who may not have been born yet but will be born in time for our event!
- NB If you are booking a Gold or Silver private compartment for 6 people and there are LESS than 6 people in your party AND you have a baby with you, you do not have to add the baby to your booking as well as you will already have paid for 6 people.
- Please note there are no toilets on the trains, but plenty around the site for you to use before your train ride.
- Dogs are allowed on site, but at Christmas we do not allow them in the pantomime or on the trains.
- Any queries to 01296 655720
