Something very special is coming to Merry Hill this Christmas. Santa has organised a special train, the Merry Hill Express, to take you on an unforgettable trip.

Once aboard watch out for Santa's elves playing amongst the carriages and don't forget to head to First Class where you'll be able to write Santa a letter or draw him a picture. When you meet Santa - at the end of your journey - you'll be able to have a special photo taken with him and you'll be given a gift to take home.

Where: The Merry Hill Express is in Fountain Square on the Lower Mall near M&S.

When: Every day from Tuesday 17 November until Christmas Eve - see full operating hours below.

Price: From £3.95 per child (each child will receive a gift-wrapped present).

Come along to the Merry Hill Express to book in your visit with Santa or book your visit at our online booking site here.
