The North Pole Adventure

30^th November to 24^th December 2024

Get in the festive spirit at Nene Valley Railway with our brand new, never before seen Christmas Special… The North Pole Adventure!

Join us at Nene Valley Railway this Christmas and embark on the most magical journey around this festive season.

Start your journey in the Enchanted Forest with Bramble and discover whether you have made the good list this year.

Join Frostine, the winter fairy, who will guide you on your wondrous experience and help you to reach the North Pole.

Finally you will arrive at Father Christmas’s Workshop where Santa’s elves will ask for your help to make sure everything is ready this year for the big day.

After you have completed all your preparations, it is time to meet Santa himself along with Mrs Claus.  He will thank each of you and you will receive a gift early this year.

Finally, it is time to journey back home and Santa’s very favourite way to travel (other than sleigh) is by train, so board our festive carriages to transport you back in the most magnificent way possible whilst more of Santa’s elves will ensure your journey home is filled with Christmas Spirit.

• A fully immersive festive experience with 14 professional actors playing our Christmas characters
