Pendle Village Christmas Express and Santa's Grotto

About

Choo Choo.  Calling all families and little ones for a Christmas adventure like no other.  The popular Santa’s grotto is back and, for 2023, has the most enchanting way to celebrate the festive season with your children, the Pendle Village Christmas Express.

Discover a world of wonder and excitement with your very own golden ticket to board a magical Midnight Train.  Children are invited to wear their cosiest pyjamas and dressing gowns, as they take a journey through a winter wonderland that Christmas dreams are made of.  But do wrap up warm.  You are going to the North Pole afterall.
