While we are crunching the numbers and hoping for the green light for this Sunday at Bolton Arena, the workshop doesn't sleep!

Regardless of the outcome, we are busy this evening swapping motors, fixing wheels, and scrubbing tracks. We want to make sure that if we roll into Bolton, every single engine is ready for action. 🔧✨

Fingers crossed we get to put all this hard work to good use on Sunday!

We are geared up for our Christmas Special at Bolton Arena this Sunday, but we have reached crunch time. ⏰

Booking numbers are currently too low for the event to go ahead.

We have to make the final "Go or No-Go" decision by TOMORROW (Thursday). We really don’t want to cancel the fun, but we can't run the trains without the passengers! 🚂💨

If you want to escape the cold, let the kids run wild on our massive tracks, and enjoy a hot coffee this Sunday, we need you to book TODAY.

Help us give the green light for these sessions: ✅ 09:30 - 11:00 ✅ 11:15 - 12:45 ✅ 13:00 - 14:30 (SEND Session)

🎅 The Final Sunday Before Christmas... Are we on? 🚂

We are getting ready to roll into Bolton Arena this coming Sunday for our festive special! It's the perfect way to let the kids burn off that excitement indoors (warm and dry!) while you grab a hot chocolate from the tuck shop. ☕

However, to be completely open with you all, we are currently short on the numbers needed to run the event.

We really want to bring the tracks to Bolton, but unless we get a surge of bookings over the next couple of days, the trains unfortunately won't be leaving the station. 🚉

If you’ve been meaning to book—please do it today! It helps us confirm the event and ensures the fun goes ahead. Please tag a friend below who might want to join us! 👇

The Schedule: ⏰ 09:30 - 11:00 ⏰ 11:15 - 12:45 ⏰ 13:00 - 14:30 (SEND Session)
