THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride for Two Adults & Two Children

This Christmas, four of you could be climbing aboard THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride at South Devon Railway. The prize is for two adults and two children to travel together on Sunday 6 December 2026 at 2:30pm — a proper festive family day out with the magic starting before the train even leaves Buckfastleigh. Once you are on board, the carriage becomes part of the story. Singing Chefs, music, storytelling and a magical light show bring THE POLAR EXPRESS™ to life as the train rolls through the Devon countryside. There is hot chocolate and a milk chocolate cookie for everyone, before Santa joins the journey with a silver sleigh bell — the First Gift of Christmas. If you have little ones who love Christmas, trains and the chance to meet Santa, this is one for the family calendar. Four seats, one unforgettable afternoon and a Christmas memory waiting to happen.

South Devon Railway at Buckfastleigh is the starting point for THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride. Families arrive to festive decorations before boarding a heritage carriage transformed for a theatrical Christmas journey, with characters, music, storytelling and Santa on board.
