Returning for 2025, Santa’s Enchanted Journey is the perfect way for all the family to get into the Christmas spirit. Services will be running on selected dates between 29 November and 24 December 2025, as detailed on the calendar. 

Every passenger receives:

• A return steam train ride from Wirksworth to Duffield in a seasonally decorated carriage
• Festive entertainment from Mrs Claus and Santa’s team of jolly elves during the journey
• A visit from Santa to your seat who will have a present for every child

There will also be children’s activities on the platform before departure (additional fees apply) and we will have our Candy Cane Kiosk open on the platform where hot drinks and sweets can be purchased.
