The steam train then takes you the short distance (about 400m) from the main station at Becconsall to Toyland.

Each compartment in turn meets Santa, and each child receives a present from Santa.

Then it's back to Becconsall on the train for mince pies and mulled wine in our new tea-room. Tea and coffee are also available, and our famous burger van will be in operation.

On arrival back at Becconsall you can have a family photo in front of your engine - one of our friendly Elves can do this for you.

If you wish to enter the station shop please wear a mask - we can provide these if necessary. Only one family in the shop at a time please.

Each coach will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitised between trains. Please help us by maintaining social distancing, following the signs for the one-way system and using the hand-sanitiser stations.

Note that this is an open-air event, with open-sided coaches, so wrap up warm!
