The Santa Specials are festive train journeys hosted by the North Norfolk Railway, offering a magical Christmas experience aboard a vintage steam-hauled train. These seasonal excursions invite families to immerse themselves in the holiday spirit as they journey from Sheringham to Holt and back.

Here’s what you can expect on a Santa Special:

1. Festive Refreshments and Entertainment: Passengers are treated to holiday-themed refreshments with mince pies and mulled cider for adults, and gingerbread and hot chocolate for children. There are also children’s activity booklets, along with entertainers and balloon artists who make their way through the carriages to spread cheer.
2. Holt Station Break: At Holt, passengers can take photos with the historic locomotive and visit the onboard bar while the engine switches ends, preparing for the return journey.
3. Weybourne Station Stop: On the way back, the train stops at Weybourne Station, where guests are led through a festive “Christmas Tree Kingdom” with a snowy model railway and holiday decorations. Here, families meet Santa Claus, who gives each child a special gift.
4. Return to Sheringham: After meeting Santa, passengers reboard for the final leg back to Sheringham, ending a memorable and festive outing.

The Santa Specials are a cherished holiday tradition for families, blending nostalgia, Christmas cheer, and delightful entertainment.
