THE festive train returns for a Christmas adventure at Gulliver’s World this winter.

The theme park will be transformed into a magical winter wonderland in the lead up to Christmas with festive rides, snowy surprises and appearances from Santa.

As well as ‘Elfie mischief and fairy fun’, there will be selected festive rides and attractions for big and little thrill-seekers to enjoy including the return of the North Pole Express train ride.

The journey features twinkling lights and Christmas delights. There are special stops on the journey and every child will have the chance to give Santa their Christmas wish list and choose their own gift from the Christmas shop.

Christmas packages at Gulliver’s World Warrington, which also includes a festive breakfast option, start from £10.

Mel Burrows-Carr, resort manager at Gulliver’s World, said: "We’re really excited to be launching our Christmas programme of festive fun which has something for the whole family to enjoy. Our North Pole Express is particularly popular so it is great to see it return once again to delight our young visitors.

"Helping our guests to make magical memories that last a lifetime is really important to what we do here at Gulliver’s and we are so looking forward to welcoming families to Gulliver's World to celebrate Christmas in style.”

The festivities at Gulliver's World start in late November and continue through December.
