What’s in Store

Your evening begins at Swanage Station, where the atmosphere will be set with a quartet of professional musicians led by their Musical Director Bob Lovett. Once aboard, we’ll steam through the Isle of Purbeck’s winter countryside to Corfe Castle Station, where the festivities truly begin.

At Corfe, the train will be welcomed and piped into the station by Piper Freddie Sills. Freddie, who will be in his ‘Highland’ uniform,  has been playing the bagpipes for five years and is a member of the Ringwood Pipe Band. The choir, conducted by Angus Murry-Brown, will fill the night air with Christmas classics. You can listen, soak up the magic, or join in for some traditional carols. Expect a joyful mix of choir performances, sing-alongs, and instrumental Christmas tunes.

Mulled wine and mince pies will be available to purchase at Corfe Castle Station, adding a little extra warmth to your evening.
