Brimming with inappropriate jokes and stories, our Bad Santa event is simply put, comedy on a train.
Expect an evening of delicious food and hearty laughs on a steam-hauled journey on our First-Class Quantock Belle dining train from Bishops Lydeard to Williton and back.
Purchasing a ticket means you’re ready for a night of risqué language, innuendos and mischievous behaviour.
This event is an excellent choice for a Christmas party and is strictly for adults only!
