Book yourself a little bit of Christmas magic and jump on board the Santa Express. Tickets are now available to buy for one of the county’s best loved festive traditions at The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR).
Santa and his jolly little team of elves will be ready to greet you from 4th December with sacks full of toys and Christmas stories to share. Board the heritage steam train at either Pickering or Grosmont Station for just £26 per ticket, and get ready for an enchanting one-hour train journey of festive fun.
Santa Claus will make his way through the carriages to meet with each child before giving them a special present and NYMR backpack.
