    The secret is out! This Christmas, Polar Productions in conjunction with Rail Events Inc. are bringing a truly magical live show to The Vale of Rheidol Railway; the same team that just last year brought you the award-winning experience of the renowned Swanage POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride.

    This fully immersive theatre experience recreates the famous Christmas movie as it celebrates its 20th Anniversary, brought to you by the brilliant mind of Creative Director Gareth Walker. The POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride will be bringing the characters to life as it captures the joyful festive tale as well as giving families the opportunity to travel by steam train on the spectacular Vale of Rheidol Railway in the heart of Wales. 

    Popular with all ages, you can expect heart-warming family fun and a truly special event for all generations, set to become one of Wales’ best Christmas experiences this year! 

    There will be singing and dancing from all your favourite characters, iconic scenes straight from the movie and a special visit from Father Christmas himself. While you enjoy a delicious hot chocolate and cookie, courtesy of our dancing chefs, the Christmas magic and seasonal wonder will put you right in the holiday spirit! 

    Llyr ap Iolo, managing director at The Vale of Rheidol Railway said: “We are very excited to be hosting Wales’s first Polar Express Christmas Experience on our railway at Aberystwyth, we are working closely with the production company to deliver an unforgettable experience for all.”

    Marie Gallop, managing director at Polar Productions added: “It’s a privilege for our team to bring the Polar Express Train Ride to Wales and the historic Vale of Rheidol Railway. We are very excited to bring The Polar Express magic to all this Christmas.”

    Jarrette Ireland, vice president and general manager Rail Events, Inc./ Rail Events Productions Inc., said: “We are excited to work with Marie Gallop and her production team to bring THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride to the stunning Vale of Rheidol Railway. This officially licensed event in Wales, set against the backdrop of such a beautiful venue and historic railway, will elevate the magic of the holiday season for all our guests.”

    Don’t miss out on this magical adventure. Tickets are on sale now. Trains depart from Saturday, November 30 and run until Christmas Eve.
