Saturday 14th December
Sunday 15th December
The majestic steam train takes you from Warren Wood Station at Bredgar Railway, through the field and into the Christmas Woodland on the most anticipated journey of the year!
In the Christmas Woodland you'll find Christmas Crafts, Activities and a Treasure Hunt for children and adults alike to help kick start your Christmas Season. The festive lighting, Christmas music and a warming open fire all add to the ambiance.
In the grotto, the Elves know who's on the Naughty and Nice list and you'll go through to see Father Christmas himself. He's excited to meet everyone who loves Christmas as much as he does! Every child will receive a gift from Father Christmas with their name on it, because it was chosen just for them. To personalise your visit even more, make sure when booking you give us some info that 'only Father Christmas would know' such as the name of a 'Naughty Elf' who visits you in December or perhaps a family pet name who sees him deliver the presents on Christmas Eve or a toy received last year. With the help of these facts, Father Christmas can tailor the meeting with your child to ensure the magic is still very much alive!
Your ticket time is the time arranged for you to visit the Grotto to see Father Christmas. Please ensure you arrive at the venue at least half an hour prior to this time to ensure you can catch the train and make it to the grotto - or at least an hour prior if you'd like to do some of the activities before you see Father Christmas.
