Santa Specials

Gates open at 10 am and train rides start at 10.15 am.

The Santa Specials at the Yeovil Railway Centre are an enjoyable experience for everyone from ages 1 to 100.

You start your visit with a train ride behind one of our diesel locomotives, travelling in a decorated heritage carriage with windows to see out of and a seat for everyone. Our track is about 1/3 of a mile long, so the train ride is fun for the children but not long enough to get bored.

Visitors then make their way to the ex-GWR Transfer Shed, where Santa will be ready to greet them. All children will receive a free present from Santa.

The Adult ticket includes a free mince pie and a hot drink (tea or Coffee).

After you have concluded the visit to Santa, you may wish to visit the Gift Shop (located on the platform), where there is a large selection of books, DVDs, Model Railway items (second-hand) and much more.

Our model railway will also be open.

Come and see the multi-award-winning Christmas displays put together by our volunteers. You can also dance and play in the snow falling from above.

Admission prices. Adults £15, Children £15. Children aged 12 months and under are admitted free and will receive a free present.
