2. Santa Steam Specials at Severn Valley Railway
After festive fun at Kidderminster Station, travel in a private compartment or at a reserved table on a vintage steam train to Arley, for an all-new theatrical show: The Great Christmas Train Rescue.
This amazing live show features Santa himself, but his magical steam train is in trouble, and only Polly the polar bear and a pair of cheeky elves can save the day from the scheming villain, Victor Von Sneeze!
With dazzling puppetry by War Horse’s Matthew Forbes, toe-tapping tunes, and heart-warming moments, this is a festive experience like no other. Back on the train, presents will be waiting for all children, before your train steams back to Kidderminster.
Relaxed Santa Steam Specials
For those who would prefer an experience which brings down the volume, keeps lighting at a low level and offers a reduced capacity, Relaxed Santa Steam Specials can also be booked online.
3. Follow the Yellow Brick Road to Christmas Magic at Webbs
This Christmas, follow the yellow brick road and discover The Enchanted Gardens: Oz - a reimagined winter light trail inspired by the timeless story of The Wizard of Oz. Returning for its fifth spectacular year, Webbs, Wychbold invites you to step into a world of colour, light, and wonder from 20th November 2025 to 3rd January 2026.

Beyond the lights, the magic continues. Wrap up warm and explore The Enchanted Gardens Festive Fayre, where traditional fairground rides mingle with street-food vendors, roasted marshmallows and fire pits. Settle into a beautifully restored Horsebox for a cosy, intimate celebration, or retreat to your very own Webbs Hygge Igloo - perfect for lingering over a festive brunch or a whimsical Oz-themed Afternoon tea.
Inside the store, the Webbs Festive Food Market is not to be missed. With comforting classics and irresistible sweet treats from local favourites, it’s the perfect place to indulge in a little festive cheer.
