THE WIZARD EXPRESS

Do you dare see the spooky steam trains for yourself? Are you ready for some ghostly good-fun, whatever your age?

 This Halloween, we have tons of tricks and treats around our railway to explore – if you’re ready to hop on your broomstick and head to Bolton Abbey station (postcode BD23 6AF).

For frightful families, we have a calmer experience – with dressing up competitions, the opportunity for photographs with Wizards and Witches, games and more!

For those with a mysterious lack of fear, we have evening scare trains! Test our terrifying trip and look out for fearfully-good fireworks at the end of your journey.

Ticket prices start at just £13.50 per adult or £40 for a family of four, so there’s no need to spend too much creepy cash to join us.

As ever, every ticket includes a trip on our vintage steam railway, passing through picturesque scenery in our 1950s carriages. Every ticket helps us, as a charity, to preserve the railway for future generations.
