Steam & Song: Carol Train to Corfe Castle

All aboard for a magical Christmas evening of steam, song and seasonal cheer.

Join us for a special festive journey from Swanage to Corfe Castle aboard our beautifully restored steam train and enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with Christmas spirit.

Travel through the beautiful Purbeck countryside behind a heritage steam locomotive before arriving at Corfe Castle, where you'll be welcomed with a traditional mince pie and a warming glass of mulled wine, or a soft drink, served from the railway's historic brake van.

Soak up the festive atmosphere with the St Martin bell ringers from Wareham and join in with a selection of much-loved Christmas carols. A traditional bagpiper will welcome the train into Corfe Castle and pipe its departure at the end of the evening, creating a memorable finale to this unique Christmas experience.

Whether you're celebrating with family, friends or colleagues, the Christmas Carol Train to Corfe Castle is a wonderfully traditional way to experience the magic of Christmas on the Swanage Railway.
