Santa Special Sunday
Guests board a festively decorated carriage pulled by a heritage diesel locomotive for a short journey to Santa's workshop, accompanied by cheerful elves. Following the train ride, visitors step into Santa's grotto inside the former Great Western Railway Transfer Shed, where children can play in falling snow and bubbles before meeting Santa to receive a gift. The experience also includes a complimentary hot drink and mince pie for adults, with time to browse second-hand model railway items and books in the platform shop.
