Families are being invited to get aboard a series of Santa Special train rides at a heritage railway in Derbyshire this Winter.
The festive trips out for the whole family are being offered by Midland Railway – Butterley.
A spokesman for the railway said: “Sit back and let us get you into the Christmas Spirit with our Santa Special Event.
“The excitement begins as the train pulls out of Butterley Station and Santa makes his way down the carriages to visit each child at their seat. Of course, followed by his elves and helper with goodies for all passengers.
“Enjoy a memorable trip out for the whole family.”
This special festive treat features: See Santa on the train; A gift for every child; A miniature bottle of spirits for every adult; A cookie delivered to your seat for all adults and children; A colouring book and pencils for each child; Pinxton Puppet Show in a heated and decorated marquee after your train journey; Animatronics tableau; and free parking.
The remaining dates of the 2023 Santa Special Trains at Midland Railway are: December 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 20, 22, 23, and 24.
