Your evening begins at Swanage Station, where the atmosphere will be set with live music performed by a group of six professional musicians led by local Musical Director Angus Murry-Brown. Once aboard, we’ll steam through the Isle of Purbeck’s winter countryside to Corfe Castle Station, where the festivities truly begin.
At Corfe, a 25-strong choir – made up of talented singers from local ladies’ choirs – 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.
Seats are limited, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
