“Seeing the railway and woodland gardens illuminated after dark is a wonderful experience, and we’re delighted to bring it back following its really successful launch last year.”
Father Christmas will personally see off each train and will also be available for pre-booked visits in his grotto.
The wider Christmas programme at Exbury includes daytime events on the weekends of November 28 and November 29 and December 5 and December 6, featuring the Festive Express Railway Experience, a Christmas Fair with more than 60 stalls, and a woodland trail.
Children can meet Father Christmas in the Engine Shed and send their letters before receiving a special gift.
Advance booking is recommended for the Festive Express, Christmas Night Train and meetings with Father Christmas at the Exbury website.
