Christmasat Bressingham Steam and Gardens

There is nothing quite like the sight of a steam train in the winter. This December, we’re wrapping Bressingham in holiday magic for a proper, traditional family Christmas.

If you’re looking to make some wonderful holiday memories this year, come and join us. You can ride our steam trains through the winter countryside, catch a spin on the vintage Gallopers, and soak up the festive atmosphere.

What to expect on your visit:
The Santa Express: Climb aboard for a nostalgic steam train ride through our winter grounds.

Santa’s Grotto: Walk through our festive grotto to meet Father Christmas and his elves. Every child aged 12 and under will get a special gift to take home.

The Festive Exhibition Hall & Magic Show: Head inside to explore our decorated halls and sit down for a fun, family-friendly magic show.
