This Christmas season, Londoners and visitors alike are invited to step into the enchanting world of The Polar Express as it arrives at London Euston Station. Starting early December, the train ride - which is based on the beloved 2004 animated film - offers a fully immersive theatrical experience that promises to create magical memories for the entire family. As the train departs from the historic London Euston Station, passengers will be transported into the heart of the Christmas classic.
Guests of all ages are encouraged to wear their cosy pyjamas, just like the characters in the film, as they step on board the festively decorated train. From the moment they hear the iconic "All aboard!" from the conductor, they'll know they're in for an unforgettable adventure. Once everyone is seated, that's when the magic truly begins.
The experience features live performances by talented actors portraying familiar characters, including the conductor and the dancing chefs who will be serving up hot chocolate and a delicious cookie. As the train chugs along, passengers will be treated to a live reading of the original The Polar Express book, with scenes and songs from the film brought to life around them. They should keep an eye out for the mysterious hobo and, of course, Santa Claus himself, who will greet everyone on board and present them with the first gift of Christmas - a shiny silver sleigh bell from his very own sleigh.
The Polar Express Train Ride at London Euston is designed to be enjoyed by everyone, from young children to grandparents. Whether someone is looking to create new family traditions or to share a magical experience with friends, the event is perfect for groups of all sizes. With its debut in London this year, demand for tickets is expected to be high.
Previous years at other UK locations, including Wensleydale and South Devon, saw thousands of delighted passengers, so early booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. Tickets can be purchased online, and a waitlist is available until Tuesday, September 3, 2024 for those eager to be the first to secure their place on this extraordinary Christmas journey. Customers can sign up before then for notifications.
In a city already brimming with festive cheer, The Polar Express Train Ride at London Euston is set to be one of the highlights of the holiday season. With its blend of immersive theatre, family friendly fun, and the timeless magic of Christmas, it’s an experience that captures the true spirit of the holiday..
