All aboard the Santa Steam Specials! This enchanting journey is the ultimate festive treat for children, with a magical steam train ride from Princes Risborough to Santa's Grotto at his North Pole Station, where little ones can share their Christmas wishes with Santa himself!

On selected dates in November and December, all trains will depart from Princes Risborough Station Platform 4 (SatNav HP27 9DN), where Santa's stewards will warmly welcome you onboard. During the journey, the Elves will entertain the children with activity packs, puzzles, handouts, children's games, and 'Letters to Santa'. The steam train will take you to Santa's Enchanted Workshop and Grotto at the North Pole Station. Here, you can enjoy refreshments, chat with Santa, take memorable photos, and every child will receive a Christmas present. This year, there's an added attraction: face painting for children aged 3–11 while the trains are in the platform at Chinnor – another lovely photo opportunity and lasting memory of your festive day. On the return journey, volunteers will ensure all children are delighted with their gifts and painted faces! Travel in comfort in our 1950s carriages, named after Santa's reindeer – Rudolph, Blitzen, Dasher, and Prancer. Seats are booked at tables to keep families together. Enjoy the traditional elements of our Santa experience, including a steam train ride, hot and cold beverages, mince pies or biscuits, and a magical visit with Santa. Additional treats, such as sandwiches, hot sausage rolls, crisps, snacks, and mulled wine, can be purchased at the Station Cafe. You may also find some last-minute presents in our Station Shop. Take advantage of our early season special with £5 off per person on the first two days. Christmas comes but once a year, and we aim to make it truly memorable. Santa and our volunteers look forward to welcoming you and your family on board for a festive experience filled with joy and magic!
