Sensory Friendly Night - Thursday 14th of December 2023
We are once again offering a special Sensory Friendly Night for families with sensory needs.
This special Sensory Friendly night will be open from 6pm till 9pm with trains departing approximately every hour (from 6.30pm) to the workshops and return.
Trains will be hauled by our quieter Heritage Diesel locomotive.
Music will be turned off, flashing lights minimised, and other lights dimmed where possible.
Santa will be in attendance, however there will be minimal food and other market stalls. Our standard cafe and souvenir shop will be open.
Numbers are strictly limited to 300 tickets and therefore tickets are ONLY available online.
We hope that this Sensory Friendly Night allows families to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere and train ride with reduced sensory input.
