Father Christmas Grotto at the Valley Railway

**FATHER CHRISTMAS 2026**

Coming to The Valley Railway this December is our popular Father Christmas event and we’re so excited to share it with you!

Your Father Christmas Experience

Hop on the Christmas Express and journey through the country park on our very own steam hauled train to find Father Christmas in his Gingerbread Grotto. Remember to keep your eyes peeled for our Christmas trail along the route too.

Hop off the train at North Pole Station and make yourself at home in our festive marquee with a warming hot chocolate. There are letters for Santa that the children can write, (including any last minute requests!), and you can all pose together for some fun family photos with our seasonal photo opportunities before you meet Father Christmas in his charming Gingerbread Grotto. There will be plenty of chance for your little ones to chat with Father Christmas, share their Christmas wishes and receive a special gift to take home.

What about a Treat Box?

Add a yummy festive treat box to your order and keep the children sweet! Each box contains a festive biscuit, sweets, chocolates and a candy cane. They will be ready for you to collect on arrival. They cost £6.00 each and are only available to pre-order. We regret, we are unable to cater for any allergens
