Are you ready for a holly, jolly Christmas? Prepare for a fantastical festive Santa Specials as the East Lancashire Railway (ELR) hosts a vibrant voyage through the Irwell Valley.
Father Christmas and his happy helpers have transformed the track with their dazzling decorations and picturesque props, setting the scene for a celebration that twinkles from start to finish.
Santa Claus promises unforgettable memories as you step into a truly enchanted Winter wonderland that has been entertaining families for over 30 years!
Venture on your jolly journey and immerse yourself as you get swept up by the festive spirit starting on 22nd November.
Say hello to Mrs Claus, the mystical talking Christmas Tree and ELR’s very own Ice Princess as you set off on an idyllic 80 minute adventure, from Bury to Rawtenstall, through the Irwell Valley.
Make sure to bring your best voice and join the choir of singing polar bears as they perform a range of Christmas carols and turn up the festive fun.
Sip, snack and sparkle your way through the delightful drinks and cheery chocolates onboard, and, not to be left out, grown-ups can enjoy a mince pie and toast the holiday season with a festive tipple or soft drink.
ELR guarantees all families have the same exhilarating experiences, which is why it is also hosting SEND trains on the 22nd, 23rd and 29th of November.
Mike Kelly, Chairman of the East Lancashire Railway, said: “For over 30 years, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a festive world where families can make memories they cherish. Each journey is designed to whisk passengers away on a magical festive adventure, and every detail has been created to capture the true spirit of Christmas.
“This year’s event promises even more magic, laughter, and unforgettable moments that will stay with our visitors long after the train has returned to the station.”
