Santa\'s Cabin

SantaSantaSpecial Let your festivities begin with Santa at the Nene Valley Railway where the whole family will enjoy themselves on this Christmas outing.

Your Santa experience starts with a welcome from our station staff and our badge team - entertainment is provided at busy weekends. This is followed by an enjoyable visit to Santa's log cabin where each child receives a special present from the man himself.

THOMAS will be in steam around Wansford during your visit.

Following a short wait families then join the decorated train for a 55 minute ride to Peterborough and return. During the journey our train staff serve the children with a Thomas drink and some chocolate or sweets. Parents and other adults are not forgotten with a serving of a mince pie with either an alcoholic miniature, wine or a hot drink. Santa walks through the train to see the children and to wish everyone the compliments of the season.
