Partnering with the best
At PNP Events, our THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride experiences are only possible because of the incredible partnerships we build with heritage railways, industry operators, and dedicated volunteer teams across the UK. We are proud to collaborate with organisations that share our passion for railway heritage, immersive storytelling, and delivering unforgettable family experiences. Every location we work with becomes part of the THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride family and together, we transform historic railways into magical Christmas destinations.
Wensleydale Railway – Partner Since 2019
Our journey began in 2019 with Wensleydale Railway, where we first brought the magic of THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride to life on a heritage line. Their deep knowledge of the railway, helped us establish a high-quality, immersive experience that set the standard for future events. Wensleydale remains a cornerstone partner and a shining example of how heritage railways can successfully host large-scale seasonal events.

In 2021, we expanded our THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride experience to South Devon Railway, working closely with their professional team and volunteer base to deliver a seamless and theatrical Christmas event.

Together, we have built a strong operational partnership that blends theatrical production with authentic railway heritage.
