About Tinsel Tipple at the NYMR - North Yorkshire Moors Railway

Our NEW Tinsel Tipple is a festive train experience on 28 November, 12, 22 and 23 December 2026 departing at either 5.00pm or 6.30pm. Step aboard for a seasonal evening journey complete with included Baileys (50ml) and a Mince Pie, all wrapped in the magic of Christmas.

On board, you will be immersed in a lively festive atmosphere featuring live Christmas sing-alongs and roaming elves through the carriages.

Tinsel Tipple is designed for guests aged 14 and over, focusing on seasonal entertainment, refreshments and a vibrant, sociable Christmas atmosphere: a relaxed and grown-up alternative to the traditional family Santa Express as there is no visit from Santa on these services.

The Experience

As you arrive at the station, you'll hear festive Christmas songs, playing on the station. Your carriage will have wonderful festive lighting, supplied by Purple Lighting, and you'll be able to visit out station tea room to purchase any extra drinks or tasty treats for your journey.

On the service, our team of cheeky elves will be wandering the carriages, spreading festive cheer. You'll enjoy an included Baileys (50ml) and a Mince Pie with a Christmas sing-along.

This celebratory service is built for couples, friends, work do's and multi-generational families who fancy something a bit different this Christmas.

With a drink included and an evening service, it can be the start of a proper night out that's a world away from a standard Santa service.
