THE West Somerset Railway is offering the opportunity for visitors to take part in a brand-new interactive Christmas event for 2024.
The West Somerset Railway, in collaboration with the Experiences Group, have created an event with all the characteristics of a traditional pantomime, however there’s a twist... It will all take place on board a heritage steam train travelling through the scenery of the Quantock Hills.
With the popular Winterlights train having its final date during the Christmas programme of 2023, the railway wanted to create a new fun, family-friendly event that could take over from the Winterlights services and leave lasting festive memories for passengers of all ages.
Kerry Noble, West Somerset Railway general manager said: “We are excited to introduce a brand-new event to our Christmas line up. This event is perfect for families who can experience the festive cheer of a traditional pantomime but also enjoy the extraordinary experience of it being performed on a moving steam train!”
The Panto Train will run twice a day on selected dates between Saturday, December 14 and Wednesday, January 1.
