The Most Magical Time of Year.

Toasted marshmallows, soft flurries of snow, jingling bells, and a big warm welcome – The Santa Express 2026 is here.

With your North Pole Passport in hand, get ready to venture into the snow and explore the Christmas wonderland. Hop aboard the real Santa Express train, on a real railway, and settle in for your journey across glittering lakes and winter forests, through Candy Land, Toy Town, and past the biggest Christmas tree in the country.

Keep your eyes peeled for hidden treasures in the trees or play some games in your carriages en route to Santa’s grotto. Santa has promoted his favourite elf duo, Whistle and Whisper, to run his chalets, and they are so excited to welcome you off the train. Will you play Whistle’s wild games or while away your time with Whisper’s gentle tales in the cosy corner? Whichever you choose, prepare to have fun before you enter Santa’s grotto where he is waiting with a smile and a gift just for you.

Mrs Claus has been busy too; she is not only running the North Pole Post Office, but she’s spent the year perfecting her gingerbread recipe for you. How will you decorate yours? Grab your seat in a repurposed sleigh in The Map Room to watch Atlas the Elf with her Puppet Pals recreate one of Santa’s most epic adventures in a brand-new show.
If you’re feeling a little peckish, there are sweet treats in the Treat Truck, Hot chocolate in the Holly Hut and a full festive menu in Buffers restaurant, or try a delicious s’more at the new Marshmallow Toasting Station. With so much more to do and see, what’s next? You could visit Tootsie’s toyshop, have a snowy moment in the Sensory Room or get creative in the Craft Cabin. Maybe challenge Rudy the Elf in Reindeer Games or even transform into an Elf Yourself?
Enjoy every moment and take lots of pictures at the many photo opportunities, including the biggest Christmas tree viewing station, and please don’t forget to tag us.

Santa, Mrs Claus and all the elves are counting down the days until they can welcome you in again to The Santa Express 2026.

What’s NEW for 2026:

MARSHMALLOW TOASTING STATION:
Is there anything more delicious than a toasted marshmallow at Christmas? It’s made even better when you toast it yourself and squash it between chocolate and biscuit! Brand new festive firepit where you can toast your own marshmallow and either enjoy it on its own or create s’mores. Snuggle up around the warmth of the fire and enjoy your special treat.

SENSORY SNOW ROOM:
Our sensory room has had a snowy makeover. Soft snowballs, light-up ice cubes and soft blocks to build an igloo, all in a calm and quiet environment for families.

REINDEER GAMES RETURNS:
Whether this is your first Reindeer Rodeo or you’re a holiday seasoned pro, we have a Reindeer Game for you! Rudy the Elf hosts a collection of reindeer-themed challenges for anyone with Christmas energy to burn! Play alone, with your friends and family or against Rudy to try and get your name on
