Enchanted Express

Sat 26 Nov - Dec 2022 Enchanted Express

After a sold-out debut year, The Enchanted Express is BACK, steaming from Bridgnorth every weekend between 26th November to 18th December, plus 23rd and 24th December.

Inspired by the classic poem ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, Dame Julie Walters returns as narrator of The Enchanted Express, with her iconic voice accompanying you throughout your heritage steam train journey as you experience the magic from your own private compartment – don’t forget to pack your pyjamas!

Meet five Christmas characters on the train, including Santa himself and discover which cheeky guest has nibbled your ticket at the booking office on arrival.

NEW FOR 2022 – an extra character will join you on the train and bring even more festive cheer to you and your family and each compartment will also receive our BRAND-NEW book, so you can follow the tale of The Enchanted Express as you steam along.

Your ticket includes:

  • Steam train ride in your own private compartment
  • Meet Christmas characters at your seats
  • Enchanting on-board music and narration by Dame Julie Walters’
  • Sweet treat for all passengers
  • Travel mug and hot drink for adults
  • Cold drink for children
  • Premium gift for every child and souvenirs to take home
  •  Exclusive hard-back book, with beautiful hand-drawn illustrations

There’ll even be time to grab a photo with St Nick himself and his friends as you travel between Bridgnorth and Highley.
