The Great Central Santa Express
A heritage steam service through the Charnwood countryside with a visit from Father Christmas and a wrapped gift for each child. Carriages are warm and seated, though the period stations are open-air, and the railway asks families to arrive half an hour early. Booking well ahead is essential and gift age ranges can be specified when you book.
