The Santa Express

Father Christmas visits the Children on the Santa Express

The Santa Express is slightly different from our traditional Santa Specials. Instead of arriving at Santa's grotto and queuing to see him you will be visited by Santa whilst on the train. Each child will receive a gift from Santa and Parents and Grandparents will be served with seasonal refreshments. The Santa Express will travel from Bishops Lydeard to Williton on the following dates and prices:

The Traditional Santa Special

Why not take a train ride this Christmas to meet Santa in his grotto? The trip consists of taking the train from Bishops Lydeard to Crowcombe Heathfield or from Minehead to Blue Anchor to meet Santa. Each child will receive a gift from Santa and Parents and Grandparents will be served with seasonal refreshments. Once every child has received their present the train will return to the starting station.
