NOVEMBER 2011

Santa's Steam Adventure - National Railway Museum

19 - 20, 26 - 27 November and 3 - 4, 10 - 11, 17 - 23 December 2011.

Santa isn't delivering his presents by reindeer this year - instead he's using a very special steam train at the National Railway Museum.

Visitors of all ages are invited to help Santa with his seasonal task by riding on board his special steam train with him. The journey begins in our Station Hall which has been transformed into Santa's depot filled with presents, games and the museum's toy collection from years gone by.

From here Santa's helpers will then climb onboard a beautiful festive carriage pulled by a steam train to take part in a special interactive story telling adventure. Before the magical steam journey is over, children will meet Santa Claus himself and receive a special present to take home.

Tickets: £7.50 child, £5 adult*
