AUDLEY END MINIATURE RAILWAY

Enjoy the most magical Christmas experience with your family at the Audley End Miniature Railway in Essex. Until 24 December, families can take the Santa Express deep into the woods of the Audley End Estate, arriving at Father Christmas’s Winter Wonderland. There, you’ll meet the man himself, along with his very cheeky elves. Kids will also receive a special gift and watch a crazy Christmas dance. On your way back, pay a visit to the Activity Area, where kids can write their letters to Father Christmas and post it to him at the festive office. There’s also craft making, face painting and storytelling on offer, while Mum and Dad can enjoy a warm cup of mulled wine at the Signal Box Café.
