Overview
Make this Christmas one to remember!
Climb aboard a majestic steam train at Warren Wood Station and set off on a magical journey through the fields and deep into the Christmas Woodland at Bredgar Railway. Step off the train and discover a woodland transformed for Christmas, with festive lights, Christmas music, crafts, games and a Christmas Treasure Trail for the whole family. Warm yourself beside the open fire, explore the woodland and soak up the atmosphere of a truly special Christmas day out. And, of course, there’s plenty of steam! Your ticket includes unlimited steam train rides throughout your visit, so you can enjoy the journey through the winter landscape as many times as you like. The Engine Shed and Museum will also be open for viewing from the designated viewing area.

A visit to Father Christmas in the Grotto is not included in the train ticket and must be booked separately.

Grotto tickets are available separately on the booking page.

The train journey takes approximately 5 minutes each way. If you have a Santa's Grotto time slot, you must catch a train at least 45 minutes before your booked Grotto time. We recommend allowing at least one hour to enjoy the Christmas Woodland activities. If your Grotto visit is later in the day, please make sure you allow time to enjoy the woodland before seeing Father Christmas.You are welcome to take your own photographs anywhere on site.
The Christmas Woodland will be beautifully lit and atmospheric, particularly as darkness falls. If you have young children or anyone in your group who would prefer to explore the woodland in daylight, please bear this in mind when choosing when to visit. Refreshments will be available to purchase in the Christmas Woodland. This is an outdoor event, so please come prepared for the British winter! The woodland is likely to be wet and muddy, so warm clothing, waterproofs and sensible footwear or boots are strongly recommended. Canopy cover will be available in the woodland should the heavens open.
