Santa Steam Specials: A Magical Christmas Adventure
Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire
All aboard the Santa Steam Specials! This enchanting journey is the ultimate festive treat for children, offering a magical steam train ride from Princes Risborough to Santa’s Grotto at his North Pole station. Here, little ones can share their Christmas wishes with Santa himself!
On select dates in November and December, all trains will depart from Princes Risborough Platform 4 (SatNav HP27 9DN), where Santa’s stewards will warmly welcome everyone onboard. During the journey, the Elves will entertain the children with puzzles and ‘Letters-to-Santa,’ while the boxcrazy ladies offer nimble craft projects for a modest additional cost.
The steam train will take you to Santa’s enhanced Workshop and Grotto at the North Pole station. Here, you can enjoy refreshments, chat with Santa, take memorable photos, and receive the first Christmas present for every child. On the return journey, volunteers will ensure all children are delighted with their gifts.
Travel in comfort in our 1950s carriages, named after Santa’s reindeers – Rudolph, Blitzen, Dasher, and Prancer. Seats are booked at tables to keep families together. Enjoy the traditional elements of our Santa experience: the steam train ride, hot and cold beverages, mince pies or biscuits, and a magical visit with Santa.
Additional treats like sandwiches, hot sausage rolls, crisps, snacks, and mulled wine can be purchased at the Station Café, and you might find some last-minute presents in our Station Shop.
Take advantage of our early season special with £5 off per person on the first three days. Christmas comes but once a year, and we aim to make it truly memorable. Santa and our volunteers look forward to welcoming you and your family onboard for a festive experience filled with joy and magic!
