Travel on a steam train from Kidderminster to see Santa and friends in a brand new Christmas Show – ‘The Great Christmas Train Rescue’. After being entertained at Kidderminster by Christmas characters, climb on board our vintage carriages and celebrate the most wonderful time of year with friends and family. You can choose your very own private compartment or reserve a table, enjoy a sweet treat, and every child receives a present.
New Christmas Show for 2025 – The Great Christmas Train Rescue at Arley Station.
Every year, Santa delivers presents across the world by magical steam train, powered by festive cheer and a whole lot of Christmas spirit. But this time, there’s trouble on the tracks. The sneezy, scheming Victor Von Sneeze has a dastardly plan to derail Christmas itself!
Luckily, Polly the brave polar bear is on his trail, ready to leap into action and maybe even melt the villain’s frosty heart. Starring Santa himself, two mischievous elves, some toe-tapping tunes, and a whole lot of festive fun, you’ve got a Christmas adventure like no other.
Working in partnership with Wise Owl Theatre Company and featuring incredible puppetry by Matthew Forbes, Associate Puppetry Director for the National Theatre’s War Horse, this production offers a visual feast that is as captivating as the story itself. The stunning puppetry brings Santa’s magical world to life, making this a truly unforgettable Christmas experience. With a sprinkle of magic, lots of love, and plenty of laughter, this heart-warming family show is the perfect festive treat.
Back on the train, presents will be waiting for all children, before your train steams back to Kidderminster.
Departures are available throughout the day from Kidderminster Station (DY10 1QX), with the experience lasting at least 2.5 hours.
Please note, you do not personally meet Santa during the experience. Instead, you will see him on stage at Arley.
