Santa Express Bishops Lydeard

Make memories to treasure for a lifetime on our Christmas family favourite – our Santa Express!

Step aboard our festively decorated heritage carriages for a magical ride behind a steam locomotive through the scenic Quantock Hills from Bishops Lydeard to Williton and back.

A gift from Santa and refreshments will be waiting for you at your table, with the man himself visiting during the journey.

Tickets must be pre-booked as seats for each train are limited and are expected to sell quickly.

Registered carers may travel for free where a seat only will be provided. If you would like to have the catering option available to the carer, please select the ticket which includes the drink and cookie on board the train - this is at an additional charge.

Additional snacks and beverages will be available at the welcome marquee in Bishops Lydeard.

Please note, only assistance dogs are allowed on our festive trains.

Important: Should you place multiple bookings and wish to have your groups seated together, kindly inform us in the booking notes or by emailing [email protected] with the distinct booking references and names of the groups.  Please do this as soon as possible after making your booking. We will ensure that all tickets within a single booking are seated together. Advance notice of any special access requirements for your party is also appreciated.

Please be aware that this service departs from Bishops Lydeard Station on the West Somerset Railway. All details regarding how to reach us will be included in your confirmation email along with your tickets. It is crucial that you read this information thoroughly to ensure timely arrival at the event. Owing to the high demand for our services, we cannot guarantee accommodation on an alternative service should you miss your train or arrive at an incorrect departure point.
