A Christmas railway experience and Christmas show all wrapped up in one

Travel on a festive steam train to see Santa in a pantomime! 

After walking through a winter wonderland at Kidderminster Station to meet Mrs Christmas and her Elf, you’ll collect your complimentary hot drink and sweet treat and board the steam train for a journey in your private compartment or reserved table to the fabulously decked out Arley station.  

At Arley Station you will take your seats and get ready for a Christmas pantomime. Featuring a host of festive characters alongside Father Christmas, watch as he prepares for the biggest night of the year, and meet friends Jingle and Jangle and new to 2024, Monsieur Poirat as chaos ensues in 'Jingle, Jangle and the Great Christmas Mystery'!

Back on the train, present-shaped surprises will be waiting for all children before your train steams back to Kidderminster.
