Journey into a magical world of festive wonder at our elf workshop, where the spirit of the season steams ahead on a truly unforgettable adventure!
Set within an immersive streetscape with authentic railway touches, twinkling lights, and the echo of festive tunes, this Christmas trail offers a heart warming experience for families, friends, and festive explorers of all ages.
Nestled around the magnificent replica Locomotion No.1, our Christmas trail brings together the charm of a bygone era with the sparkle of Santa’s elves hard at work. Whether you're young or just young at heart, there's magic waiting at every stop!
Step into a twinkling world of festive fun as the elves prepare for the busiest time of the year. Peek inside the hustle and bustle of the sorting room, where letters from around the world are magically sorted and sent to Santa. Take a moment to pen your own letter then post it straight into the North Pole mailbox! Who knows, you might just get a response.
Take a festive adventure full of merry mischief! There’s hands-on fun for the whole family as you journey through the enchanted workshop to help the elves find the missing letters to Santa in the bustling sorting office. And keep your eyes peeled – hidden throughout the trail are special letters left by the elves! Find them all to reveal a festive mystery word and earn a special reward!
Add your own Christmas memory or wish to the shimmering branches of our Memory Tree. Each message becomes part of a growing display of festive memories, hope and joy.
Meet Santa’s trusty reindeer as they prepare for their Christmas Eve flight. Discover fun facts, help the elves feed the herd, and even listen out for a jingle or two!
If you visit the grotto on a Saturday or Sunday, or on Monday 22 or Tuesday 23 December, with a seperate Santa's Grotto ticket you can meet the big man himself in his beautifully decorated grotto.
