Santa Specials on the Dean Forest Railway

Ride behind a real steam engine through the Forest of Dean and meet Santa and his elves on board, with presents for the children, a miniature for the adults and mince pies for everyone. The round trip from Norchard Station takes about an hour and a quarter. Add a festive afternoon tea or picnic bag from Whistle's cafe to make a proper day of it. Departures run between 10:15am and 3:30pm, though not every slot runs every day.
