Thomas at Butterley

A Festive Day out with Thomas
Your ticket gives you one round trip on the Festive Thomas train along our heritage line. During the journey adults receive a complimentary drink and mince pie, and children visit the Fat Controller in his office on the train and receive a gift.

On return to Butterley Station there is a large heated and decorated marquee where the Imagination Station (a children's activity area) and the Pinxton Puppet theatre show are situated. The puppet show takes place after each train returns to Butterley station and lasts for approximately 15 minutes.

If you wish to break your journey at Swanwick Junction and visit the attractions there you are welcome to do so and return on a later train. The shop and buffet are also open at Butterley Station.

As there are a limited number of tickets available for each train service we recommend advance booking, but there will be a number of seats available on the day.
