Scruton Station: Passengers will ‘step back in time’ at Edwardian Christmas experience hosted by Yorkshire railway station with living history interpreters and festive activities
Passengers will get to ‘step back in time’ at Scruton Station’s Edwardian Christmas event where there will be living history interpreters and festive activities such as carol singing.
Scruton Station, near Northallerton, will be opening its doors again for its annual Edwardian Christmas event where passengers will get to step back in time.
The station is run by Wensleydale Railway, a volunteer-led heritage railway, and the event will be attended by costumed living history interpreters on Sunday, December 14 between 1pm and 4pm.
The afternoon will be filled with festivities such as carol singing and roasting chestnuts as well as Christmas craft activities for all ages and plenty of seasonal treats to enjoy.
Adults can enjoy a mug of mulled wine, mince pies and festive fun as the station is transformed for Christmas.
Adult tickets are £6.50 each which includes a mince pie and a hot drink (either non-alcoholic mulled wine or hot chocolate).
A child ticket is £3 that includes festive treats and a hot chocolate. There is no need to pre-book, you can turn up.
The railway’s train services will not be running on the day of the event and there is no on-site parking at the station. Visitors travelling by car may park beyond the station by the roadside on the west side of Station Road.
Community engagement officer at the Wensleydale Railway, Connor Lagus, said: “Our annual Edwardian Christmas event at Scruton Station is a wonderful opportunity to welcome visitors from near and far to enjoy some festive cheer and share the spirit of the season over mince pies and a cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate.
“The event has a relaxed, drop-in atmosphere so you are welcome to stay as long as you like and experience the station at its most magical. We look forward to celebrating the season with you!”
