Your evening begins at Swanage Station, where the atmosphere will be set with a performance from Tuxedo Brass Quartet. 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.
Each ticket includes a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie served on board. Extra refreshments will also be available to purchase, adding a little extra warmth to your evening.
Seats are limited, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
