Santa Specials

Join us at the Avon Valley Railway to make unforgettable Christmas memories onboard our 2026 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 children 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.

Premium Santa Experiences are back for 2026! Enjoy quality time with Father Christmas from the comfort of our first-class carriage. Children can have their photos taken with Santa and receive their present without having to queue. All Premium Santa passengers will also enjoy a cosy hot chocolate (or grown-ups can select a mini-festive tipple) alongside their festive sweet treat whilst travelling the line.
