As the train sets off, iconic moments from the movie spring to life.

Singing and dancing chefs will serve up delicious hot chocolate and scrumptious cookies, followed by a reading of Van Allsburg’s classic tale.

Characters will showcase beautiful illustrations from the book, allowing the entire carriage to follow along as the story unfolds scene by scene.

When Santa and his cheerful elf arrive, each guest will receive their very own silver sleigh bell—the ‘first gift of Christmas’.

As the familiar sounds of Christmas carols fill the air, the train will make its way back to Bolton Abbey.

The Polar Express departs from Bolton Abbey Station with performances from November 15 through to December 24.
