Santa Express – Whistlestop Valley

The Santa Express features a trip aboard our heated carriages hauled by one of our steam locomotives*; transporting you to the North Pole! 

Enjoy Christmas Magic Show with Spike Bonzo at Clayton West Station either before or after your train ride to the North Pole. Whilst at the North Pole, you will have a one-on-one meeting with the big guy himself inside his cosy grotto, filled with sacks of presents for the good girls & boys. Santa’s cheeky elf will be causing Christmas mischief at the Shelley North Pole – will you spot them?!

There’ll be a complimentary edible festive treat and drink for everyone plus the opportunity to make up a bag of magical reindeer food to take home with you and write out your Christmas wish to hang on the magical Wishing Tree. You’ll also be able to have a Yuletide whizz around the duck pond on our ride-on miniature train at the front of Clayton West Station.

If you wish to use the accessible carriage please email info@whistlestopvalley.co.uk to book this before booking online.​
