Make memories to treasure for a lifetime on a Christmas family favourite – The Santa Express!

Step aboard the festively decorated heritage carriages for a magical ride behind a steam locomotive through the scenic Quantock Hills from Bishops Lydeard to Williton and back.

A gift from Santa and refreshments will be waiting for you at your table, with the man himself visiting during the journey.

Tickets must be pre-booked as seats for each train are limited and are expected to sell quickly.

Registered carers may travel for free where a seat only will be provided.

Additional snacks and beverages will be available at the welcome marquee in Bishops Lydeard.

Please note, only assistance dogs are allowed on our festive trains.
