Santa Specials
Join the East Lancashire Railway on an unforgettable Christmas experience!
Soak in the magical atmosphere at this event which has become an annual tradition for many families in the North West. Let the steam train take you on a journey through a winter wonderland along with Santa and his helpers as they hand a gift out to every child and a mince pie and festive drink to the adults.
The railway comes to life with hundreds of twinkling fairy lights, a walk-through grotto, beautifully restored carriages, live brass band, Christmas carol singing and costumed characters.
The train ride takes approximately 1.5 hours and starts at Bury. It is not possible to join the Santa Specials at any other station. Park and ride facility is available at Heywood and shuttles services operate to and from Heywood, Ramsbottom and Rawtenstall, so why not book your train shuttle to the Santa Specials now?
