All-new Santa Specials at North Yorkshire Moors Railway - here are the dates and how to book
North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) has announced the launch of its all-new Santa Specials services.
This festive season, join in the fun on your journey through the North York Moors as you meet a cast of jolly railway Christmas characters and become part of the story.
These new services will bring the festive season to life on November 30 and December 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.
Starting at Pickering Station, visitors will be greeted by twinkling lights, real Christmas trees, festive decorations, and the joyful sounds of Christmas music filling the air.
Children will have the chance to visit the festive signal box, and families can take a Christmas selfie, pop into the Christmas tearoom and browse through festive stalls brimming with holiday treats and unique gifts.
One of the highlights of the Santa Specials is the opportunity to meet Santa Claus himself.
Each child will receive a unique Edmondson Railway ticket, a nod to the traditional system for recording railway fares introduced in the 1840s, as a keepsake of their journey, along with a limited-edition toy to take home.
Laura Strangeway, CEO at the NYMR, said: “This year, we’ve reimagined our Santa Specials to create an unforgettable Christmas experience for families.
"We wanted to bring the magic of Christmas to life, not just through our stunning surroundings but by immersing our guests in a storybook experience where they can become part of the adventure.
"It’s a traditional Yorkshire Christmas with something for the whole family to enjoy."
Tickets for the Santa Specials are available now and include early bird discounts.
