About this Event
Santa Specials 2024
Join us for on board our festive train for our most popular event of the year the "Santa Specials". Hop on board our 1960s vintage carriages as we step back in time for a journey like no other. As we depart from Dublin either by steam (No. 131) or diesel locomotive, the Christmas songs start and Santa's helpers are busy getting everything ready on board. While travelling to Maynooth, Santa will pay a visit to every child on board and pose for a photo and make sure he knows what all the boys and girls want for Christmas.
Before we know it, we are in Maynooth, Santa will be available on the platform for some more photos as our locomotive changes ends. When we hear the "All Aboard", it's back on to eat some of the chocolates from the selection box that every child ticket gets or enjoy some mulled wine and mince pies which every adult gets with their ticket.
The return journey lasts about two hours in total. Please read the important information below.
Tickets are €25 plus Eventbrite Booking fees.
