The Christmas Story Train (evening event)

**BRAND NEW EVENT FOR 2024**

The Christmas Story Train

New for December 2024, Perrygrove Railway Adventure and Kindred Spirits Art are excited to bring you a brand new evening Christmas event.

Hop aboard our magical Christmas night time story train this December. Watch the arrival of our steam hauled story express before finding your pre-booked compartment and settling down for the ride. Read along to the narrated story with your complimentary copy of our fully illustrated children’s Christmas story, (written especially for Perrygrove). It won’t be long before your train arrives in the North Pole, where Father Christmas and his helpers will entertain you in your seats and serve you a complimentary hot chocolate, (you can add a festive treat box to your order).

The story resumes as your train winds its way back to Perrygrove Station.  Enjoy the spectacle of the steam and passing trees illuminated from the on-board lights. The experience lasts around an hour, but you can stay longer and enjoy our twilight village, festive photo booth and café. Children will receive a Perrygrove Christmas decoration from Father Christmas as well as each compartment receiving a copy of our unique book – further copies can be purchased in advance with your booking or on the night in our shop.

TREAT BOXES – why not add a festive treat box to your order. Each box contains a festive biscuit, sweets, chocolates and a candy cane. Collect on arrival. Priced at £4.50 per box.

NOTE: Due to it being dark during the evenings, the woods, treehouses and Foxy Hollow play area will be closed for safety reasons and dogs are not permitted for this event.

WHEELCHAIR USERS – please email us before you book if you are bringing a wheelchair user. So that we can allocate you a compartment on an appropriate train and discuss compartment capacity.

Tickets are for a whole compartment – separated by glass from others. You can either book a Standard Compartment for 4-6 people – maximum of 4 adults, total number includes babies or a small compartment for 2-3 people maximum of 2 adults, total number includes babies, (babies of any age are included in this number). Please note we have very few small compartments on our train. Check out our Christmas Seating Guide 2024 for help in choosing the right tickets for you. We regret that for this experience, we do not allow dogs or pushchairs. Please allow 1 hour for the experience.

During the evening our cafe will be open serving hot food, drinks and cake. There will also be a market stall selling popcorn, candy floss, confectionery and light up toys.

**This is a brand new event so there will be no illuminations as in previous years**
