Santa Special 2026
Lincolnshire Wolds Railway's Santa Special is a steam train journey where Father Christmas visits passengers on board. In Ludborough, near Louth in Lincolnshire, families travel just under an hour through the countryside with carol singing and dancing in selected carriages. Father Christmas hands out gold coins for children to spend in the toy shop, and the journey ends with a visit to Santa's grotto for photos and gift selection. Entertainment happens in carriages A and B, with no entertainment in carriages C and D or on Mondays. Wear your best Christmas costume or festive jumper for the journey.
