Steam into Christmas

About

Steam into Christmas and help Santa find his missing reindeer!

Kids, there’s been a disaster, Santa’s reindeer have all escaped and are lost - you know that he needs them to deliver all the presents on Christmas Eve. 

We need your help! 

Can you help him find them? Explore the unique collection of Great Western Railway steam locomotives, carriages, wagons, buildings and small artefacts at our 21 acre museum set around the original 1932 engine shed whilst you locate all of the reindeer stations.

You’ll all receive a special passport and a stocking as you enter and as a reward, at each reindeer station, you’ll receive a small gift.

Visit Santa's Giant Toy Workshop

Your visit will culminate with a visit to Santa in our giant toy workshop where he’ll hear what you want to get for Christmas and you’ll get to choose your own gift from the selection on offer.

Your entry ticket will also include unlimited train rides on our main demonstration line.
