The Conductor at THE POLAR EXPRESS Wensleydale — Meet The Conductor from The Polar Express

“We had the best experience ever last night in The Polar Express at Wensleydale. All the characters were amazing! Santa was perfect and we will definitely be back next year! Thank you so much for helping my 8year old fully believe again (she is so on the brink of not believing and this experience was perfect) thanks so much!” – Claire R., 2021 Guest

A grand arrival

When you get to the platform, it seems to be empty! But it won’t be for long, as the Polar Express will soon arrive. As the platform fills with pyjama clad guests, the excitement filling the air will mount as you hear the Grand Arrival begin. The first sparks of magic begin when snow fills the platform as the train pulls to a stop!

“ALL ABOARD!” calls the conductor, and the chefs help you on board. As you make your way to your seats, the show is about to begin. The train pulls away from the platform and you’ll be treated to some familiar songs from the film, performed for you by our very talented chefs and maybe even the Conductor himself.

Before your very eyes, the story of the Polar Express will come to technicolour life. Beloved characters from the story including the chefs, Conductor and maybe even the ghost on the train will draw you ever deeper into the story of the Polar Express Train Ride. As the train steams along it’s journey, everyone will be served hot chocolate and a cookie just like in the film.

“Interaction with the actors and singing was great – this made the experience feel like the real thing. Really good acting, especially our Conductor. Santa took time with the kids and was lovely to get a photo. Cookies were delicious! Loved every minute – even being an adult Would definitely recommend” – Kelly H, 2022 Guest

Before you know it, our very special guest will join you on board your train ride. Santa Claus himself will appear right there in your carriage! He will say hello to your children and provide them with the First Gift of Christmas, a beautiful shiny silver sleigh bell. His elf helper will make sure the grownups get their bell. Whilst Santa makes his way through the carriage, you’ll hear the familiar cry of ‘tickets, please!’ as the Conductor checks everyone’s Golden Tickets.
