Guess who’s coming to town? For an extra special trip to see Santa, why not enjoy a trip back in time on a fabulous steam train to meet Father Christmas in his grotto.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway’s popular Santa Special will depart from Grosmont and Pickering stations between 17-20 December. Ticket prices are £13.50 (adult and child fares) and you will experience a wonderful steam journey through the North York Moors National Park, meet Father Christmas and enjoy a mince pie and hot drink (or a festive tipple for adults). Kids will also receive a quality gift from Santa.
In addition, during this period, Christopher Vine, the popular children’s author, will be signing his books about trains at Pickering Station’s shop – they are a perfect stocking filler for young train lovers and can be purchased in the NYMR station shops starting from just £2.99.
