The gardens are set to shine even brighter this winter as our Christmas Night Train returns, offering an enchanting illuminated steam train ride around the woodland gardens after dark, on the evenings of 30 November to 4 December inclusive.  The Christmas Night Train journey will be approximately 30 minutes long.

Following the success of last year, and even better than before, visitors will be able to enjoy the Christmas Night Train on Exbury’s Rhododendron Line Steam Railway, gliding past twinkling lights and festive displays while the rest of Exbury sleeps. Promising to be a highlight for families and railway enthusiasts alike, trains will run at 5.15pm, 6pm, 6.45pm and 7.30pm. Each departure will feature a personal send-off from Father Christmas. Festive food and drink will be on offer each night.

Christmas Night Train tickets are £21 per person, or £19 for Friends of Exbury members.  Ticket price includes admission to the railway via the gardens (which are not otherwise open).  Entry is from 4.45pm.

Please note that the Christmas Night Train features some flashing lights.

Meet Father Christmas in the Evening tickets (including a special festive gift for each child) are available separately and are not included in the Christmas Night Train tickets.
