Christmas carols, cooking and crafts – ’tis the season to be in Cornwall, and there’s no better place to be together.
Santa by Steam
Various dates
Hugely popular and wonderfully nostalgic, Santa by Steam is your chance to get into the Christmas spirit while riding through the Cornish countryside by vintage railway. Trains travel from Bodmin and Wenford Railway to Bodmin Parkway, with Santa on board to entertain, share mince pies, and hand out gifts along the way.
