Come down to the North Bay Heritage Railway in Scarborough to join in the festive celebrations, and most importantly meet Santa himself. Our Santa Specials will be fully Covid-19 safe and all compartments will be fully cleaned between trains.

Other dates are 6th,12th,13th,19th, 20th, 21st December. We also advise everyone to pre book via the web site or in person at the North Bay Heritage Railway.

This year to remain Covid-19 safe we have had to change the format of our Santa Specials. You will travel from Peasholm Station to Scalby Mills Station, hot drinks will be included before your board the train. At Scalby Mills you will be greeted by our Elves and the big man himself, Santa, he will visit your family group whilst your seated in your carriage compartment. Children will receive a gift from Santa and there will a chance to take a photo’s, the train will then return to Peasholm Station. 

As the event is all outdoors please wear warm clothing, the event will be held whatever the weather, please feel free to bring along a blanket and your Hot Water Bottle! Also be aware some trains are very busy especially on peek dates (12th – 21st December), we endeavour to keep your wait to see Santa as short as possible. Please allow up to on hour 1 hour for the Santa Special.
