Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere as you take a steam train trip with a host of happy elves and of course, the man himself, Father Christmas! It’s an amazing treat for children who have been good this year and for ‘grown-ups’ who want to enjoy the nostalgia of steam. Start your experience with a walk through the beautifully decorated Bury Bolton Street Station, enchantingly lit with countless fairy lights and decked with over 200 Christmas trees. Step out of this gorgeous grotto onto the platform and you’ll see a scene right from a Christmas card as a steam train waits for you to climb aboard. Settle into your comfy carriage and continue your adventure up the East Lancs Railway. Santa’s happy helpers keep the family entertained as your train makes its way to Rawtenstall and back. Before the trip ends, St Nick himself will pay you a special visit and make sure every little one receives a gift (well behaved adults also get a mince pie and a festive tipple). And don’t forget to collect your fantastic goody bag of toys on your way out! Toys in the goody bag are: 1. Large Plush Thomas the Tank Engine 2. Thomas and Friends Mega Bloks – James 3. Thomas The Tank Engine cloth flag 4. Thomas & Friends Top Trumps Activity Tin 5. Train Engineer outfit 6. Star Wars Storm Trooper Tin Case 7. Star Wars set of three cannisters 8.

Prior to your trip you will need to contact the railway to inform us of the ages of the people in your party to ensure age-appropriate gifts from Santa.
