Climb aboard our beautifully restored historic steam train and set off on a magical festive adventure through the heart of the Welsh countryside.

Your Christmas adventure begins at our Wish Station, where children will receive their very own North Pole Magic Passport and make a special Christmas wish. Post your wish into the glowing Wish Postbox, then climb aboard The Santa Special.

As the steam rises and the countryside slips by, our festive elves will bring the story to life right inside the carriages. With songs, games, stories and festive challenges, along the way, families will help to restore the missing Christmas Magic and guide The Santa Special safely to the North Pole?

The magic doesn’t end when The Santa Special arrives back at the station… At our Engine Shed Museum, transformed into the North Pole and Santa’s glittering grotto, Santa Claus and Mrs Claus will be waiting!

Children will have the opportunity to meet Father Christmas, share their Christmas wishes and enjoy a magical family moment together. There will also be time for family photographs to capture those special memories of your Ticket to Christmas adventure.

Of course, no child leaves the North Pole empty-handed! Every child will receive a special Christmas gift from Santa to take home and treasure.
