Step aboard our heritage steam railway for a magical journey like no other this Christmas. Santa visits every carriage and each child receives a gift. Adults £10, children (1–12) £20, under 1s £10. Advance booking required.
A warm welcome everyone!
Christmas is not so far in the distance and Santa is getting prepared to visit the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway.
Step aboard our heritage steam railway and embark on a magical journey like no other. We are proud to be the sole standard-gauge heritage steam railway in the beautiful county of Lincolnshire, and we invite you to join us this Christmas season.
The real magic of our Christmas journey begins when Santa himself makes a special appearance on board. Accompanied by his merry band of elves, Santa will visit each carriage, spreading cheer and ensuring that the festive spirit is alive and well. Santa will hand out special gold coins for the children to visit the toy shop after your journey and pick a gift to cherish.
And the excitement doesn’t end there. At the end of your train ride, don’t forget to step into Santa’s grotto. Here you can capture the cherished moments with Santa by taking your own photos with him, creating memories that will last a lifetime — and then make your way into the toy shop.

- Santa will visit you during your journey.
- The total journey is just under 1 hour.
