Santa Steam Special the Seven Valley Railway

Get Christmas off to a magical start by joining one of our traditional Santa Steam Specials to meet Father Christmas in his Grotto!
Travel by steam train in our vintage carriages from Kidderminster to Arley where the children, and the grown-ups, will have the thrill of meeting Father Christmas in his grotto.
Our historical Stations are dressed for the occasion, with plenty of photo opportunities both on and off the train.
When you meet the man himself, Santa will have a present for all fare-paying children, and you'll be able to open it up on the steam train of your choice back to Kidderminster, with the option to break your journey at the beautiful riverside town of Bewdley.
