Join us at the Avon Valley Railway to make unforgettable Christmas memories onboard our 2025 Santa Special.  Once onboard our festive trains the whistle will sound and you'll depart on your fifty minute train ride. Whilst you're travelling, you'll enjoy a mince pie or festive biscuit and Santa will pass through the train saying hello to everyone. Then, when you return to Bitton Station each family group will meet Santa again and all good boys and girls will receive a present from him too! There will also be the chance for your family group to take photographs and create those special festive memories. New for 2025, upgrade to our Premium Santa experience to enjoy quality time with Santa from the comfort of our first-class dining carriage. Spend more time with Santa as he joins you on his festive throne in our beautifully decorated carriage, where children can spend precious time with him and his elves whilst they collect their present. All Premium Santa passengers will also enjoy a cosy hot chocolate alongside their festive sweet treat whilst you travel the line. Finally, you'll be pleased to know that the festive Christmas donkeys will be returning once again and you'll be able to see these on the lawn at Bitton Station, either before or after you've travelled on the train. If you are travelling the last train of the day, please make sure you see the donkeys before you board the train. We very much look forward to welcoming you to our Santa Specials!
