Santa Specials at East Lancashire Railway 2023
9 July, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
East Lancashire Railway Santa Special 2021.
Steam into Christmas on the East Lancashire Railway’s famously festive Santa Specials 2023. Your family will make enchanted memories to share as they take a trip through the magical Irwell Valley alongside colourful characters and surprises.
And what Christmas treat would be complete without a visit from a host of happy elves and Santa Claus himself.
Begin the adventure at Bury Bolton Street Station where you will journey through a gorgeously decorated winter wonderland. Say hello to Mrs Clause and the talking Christmas Tree, and maybe even stop for a quick singalong with our carol singing choir of polar bears, before boarding your train.
Once you’re settled into your seat, a steam train will haul you to Rawtenstall and back on an approximately 80-minute round trip. Along the way the festive fun continues as you meet your favourite Christmas characters and get the chance to belt out a couple of festive classics with the brass band. Whilst travelling, Santa himself will visit your carriage with a gift for every little one, and there will be plenty of time to have a chat with him and take a Santa selfie or two.
Grown-ups can look forward to mince pies and a festive tipple or soft drink. For the children there will be a Fruit Shoot, chocolate and an activity pack.
