All Aboard for Christmas- Your ticket to timeless Christmas memories.
This December, let the spirit of Christmas carry you away on a festive journey like no other at the Whitehead Railway Museum. With the glow of twinkling lights, the hiss of steam, and the nostalgic charm of the railway, this is a traditional Christmas experience designed to delight all ages.
Begin your visit with a short steam train ride, where the whole family can enjoy the magic of travelling by heritage rail. As the train chuffs along the track, little imaginations will come alive with excitement.
Back at the station, children can take part in much-loved Christmas traditions. They’ll have the chance to write their letter to Santa, sharing their hopes and wishes for the season, before heading to the craft table to make reindeer food to take home — ready to sprinkle on Christmas Eve to guide Rudolph and his friends.
The highlight of the experience is, of course, a visit to Santa himself. Step into his beautifully decorated grotto, where every child will have the chance to meet Father Christmas, share their Christmas wishes, and receive a special present to treasure. Finish your experience by decorating some yummy gingerbread men, you can also visit our tearoom if you after more tasty treats and refreshments.
With the sights, sounds, and scents of the season all around, All Aboard for Christmas is more than just a day out — it’s an opportunity to create festive family memories that will last a lifetime.
