Santa Experiences
Santa Express Painting & Train Ride
Santa Express Painting & Train Ride is a combined pottery painting and railway adventure at Amerton Glaze Craze, in Stafford, Staffordshire. Children paint Christmas pots in a warm studio, then board a real train to meet Father Christmas at Toyland. The experience wraps festive creativity with train travel and seasonal treats. Hot chocolate and cookies come during painting; mince pies and sherry await adults on the rails. The session runs for roughly two and a half hours. You'll receive a golden ticket souvenir, and glazing and firing of your pottery is included in the price. Pre-booking is essential as capacity is limited to 20 people. Arriving in warm pyjamas or a dressing gown is encouraged to enhance the authentic Christmas morning feel.
