A dedicated day designed to better support visitors with accessible or neurodiverse needs, while remaining open to everyone.

The experience will feature a calmer environment with lights on during daylight hours, reduced visitor numbers, lower capacity, no music, and an overall gentler sensory atmosphere. 

Celebrate the magic of Christmas with a trip aboard the Santa Train. Travel to the North Pole Halt, an enchanting winter landscape where little ones can meet Father Christmas and his elves and receive their all-important Christmas gift.  

Annual Members are asked to prebook entry to avoid disappointment on selected Peak Days where we may sell out.
