The Santa Express Yorkshire

Wise Owl Theatre is delighted to partner with the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to present a brand-new festive adventure aboard the magical Santa Express.

High above the world at the North Pole, the Santa Express should glow with Christmas warmth—but this year, its Christmas Spirit Gauge has dropped dangerously low. Without its sparkle, Santa may struggle to guide his sleigh on Christmas Eve. Mrs Claus and Jingle Elf discover the truth: people have forgotten the simple joys that power Christmas, kindness, laughter, and togetherness.

Their mission: take the Santa Express to families and invite them to help restore the magic.

At Pickering Station, guests step into a festive world filled with decorations and live singing, before an interactive journey packed with jokes, songs, and Christmas cheer. Along the way, families help revive the Spirit Gauge, just in time for a very special meeting with Father Christmas, who greets every child with a keepsake gift.

Join Wise Owl Theatre and NYMR on an enchanting steam-powered adventure where story, performance, and Christmas magic come together to remind us all what the season is truly about.
