Travel on a steam train to see Santa in a pantomime! It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for – celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with your family on a magical journey to Arley to see our new 2024 Christmas Show, as Jingle and Jangle the mischievous Elves return for more festive fun!

After walking through a winter wonderland at Kidderminster Station (DY10 1QX) with plenty of photo opportunities, board the steam train in your private compartment or reserved table for a magical journey. Its then time to relax and enjoy your journey to the beautifully-decorated Arley station.

Here, there are thrills, spills and plenty of laughs with a fabulous live stage panto show, featuring a host of festive characters alongside Father Christmas as he prepares for the biggest night of the year. Firm favourites Jingle and Jangle are back again for 2024 and they will be joined by Monsieur Poirat for ‘Jingle, Jangle and the Great Christmas Mystery’.

Back on the train, present-shaped surprises will be waiting for all children, before your train steams back to Kidderminster.

Departures are available throughout the day from Kidderminster Station (DY10 1QX), with the experience lasting a minimum of 2.5 hours.

New for 2024, the Severn Valley Railway is delighted to invite you on our Relaxed Santa Train and we hope you all have a wonderful journey with us.

The Relaxed Santa Train provides the exact same experience as a typical family would enjoy, with an atmosphere and attitude that makes everyone feel safe and comfortable.

Our relaxed experience is designed to welcome anyone who might find visiting a railway and seeing a pantomime a bit overwhelming. Pantomime is brilliant but the loud noises, flashing lights and busy atmosphere isn’t right for everyone. A relaxed show brings down the volume, keeps lighting on at a low level throughout and we’ve reduce the capacity so there’s more spaces around each group’s booking. There are no cuts made to the show, we just make some small adjustments to the technical aspects so it’s a more gentle experience. On the train, you’ll also get your very own private space.

We understand everyone’s needs are different, and whilst we are unable to cater to each individual need, we hope that a relaxed performance makes the experience a bit more comfortable for those who may feel overwhelmed in such situations.
