Sunday 29th & Monday 30th December!
On December 29th and 30th, Fox & Edwards Events will be joined by The Snowman and The Snowdog at the Great Central Railway bringing lots of festive fun and excitement. There will be steam train trips, the chance to see The Snowman at intervals, and more.
Start your visit at Quorn & Woodhouse station (LE12 8AG) where there is large free car parking. On checking in, each child receives a classic The Snowman storybook for the trip. Our vintage steam train will be waiting to welcome you for a journey of approximately 75 minutes. This relaxed journey is approximately 16 miles in total with a short pause in the middle of the trip.
Every child and infant will receive a gingerbread train biscuit and juice carton, too!
When we return, The Snowman and The Snowdog will be waiting for friendly waves and to see fans like you. Don’t forget to bring your camera to get some snaps of The Snowman and The Snowdog.
