Brilliant time visiting the Santa paws train Staff were so welcoming The event was really well done and Santa himself was very sweet with both our corgi and 4yo We've been two years in a row now and will be coming again Thank you!
Visited today (bank holiday Monday) for the Bluey event. We had never been before despite living locally. On arrival it was quite busy and we were unsure if there would be enough space to park but there was plenty of space with an overflow car park too. We went to the ticket office to redeem the tickets we had bought online, the staff were very friendly and helpful explaining where/when we could expect to see Bluey and what times the train would arrive. We had a lovely trip on the train, just the right amount of time before our little boy started to get a little bored. We had a look in the gift shop and bought an ice cream and lemon drizzle cake from the cafe which was very reasonably priced. There was face painting, hook a duck and a cups and saucers ride for the children at this particular event which was lovely too! We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing if there will be anything going on at Christmas!
What a fantastic experience. We went for a Santa and steam train experience. The staff were lovely, the train was well organised and Santa was great. Refreshments were good and I was able to go onto the footplate for a guided tour with the driver. Would highly recommend and to think all of the staff are volunteers.
Iconic 🚂 with almost 100 years service. Really enjoyed the ride and appreciate the amount of time and effort people working/ volunteering there. They maintain and explain lots of things to visitors. Great places for photography. Will definitely come back later.
I visited for the first time and my son enjoyed himself a lot. Loads of friendly staff from the moment you set foot on the platform, great priced gift shop and very nice cafe food. Sadly there was no steam train on our visit but equally we enjoyed ourselves on a diesel train which was just as good. We would definitely be returning for a steam engine trip but I would also recommend travelling on the diesel train too they are just as fun!
