Santa Express at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway

All aboard the Santa Express for a magical Christmas journey through the North York Moors!

Set off from Pickering Station on a one-hour return steam train journey to Levisham, with festive songs, games and entertainment from Santa’s cheeky elves along the way. Santa will visit families on board, and every child will receive a gingerbread man plush toy and festive book to take home.

Back at the station, enjoy Christmas-themed fete games, festive singalongs, a Naughty or Nice Scanner and the chance to write and post a letter to Santa. You can also browse the Christmas Emporium or visit the tearoom.
