Get Santa Express train tickets for just £13.75 in a Black Friday deal

There are big savings to be had on Christmas train tickets in the Midlands this Black Friday. The owners of Statfold Country Park in Tamworth are halving the price of their tickets for the Magical Santa Express experience.

It features a ride on an illuminated festive train to a 'North Pole Wonderland' complete with twinkling lights, falling snow and singing reindeer plus the chance to meet Santa's elves, decorate cookies with Mrs Claus and make reindeer food. There's even time to send letters via the North Pole Post Office before going to the grotto to meet Santa for a chat and a photo.

Normally tickets to this event cost from £27.50 to £30 for adults, depending on your date of choice, but there's a Black Friday deal where you can snap up a ticket for just £13.75. It's half price for children too, reducing kids' tickets from £32.50 to £16.25. And for a family ticket, the price goes from £116 to just £58 for two adults and two children. This equates to just £14.50 each.

There is, however, a catch. You can book your ticket any time from now (November 22) to Black Friday (November 29) depending on availability. But you have to attend the park on Black Friday itself, which is November 29. You simply need to use the voucher code BLACKFRIDAY24 at the checkout.

A spokesman for Statfold said: "Book now to visit our Magical Santa Express event on Friday 29th November and secure your tickets with the code BLACKFRIDAY24 for 50% off!

"Embark on an enchanting train journey to the ‘North Pole’ where you can meet with the real Santa, take home a special present from the toy shop, decorate cookies with Mrs Claus, prepare a reindeer snack to sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve, plus much more!"

If you can't make this date, there are plenty of other trains running on selected dates from November 23 to December 23 - and the prices are considerably cheaper than other Christmas trains in the area. Find out more and book tickets via the Statfold website and read our review of Statfold here.

And there's also a Black Friday deal at Severn Valley Railway. You can save 25% on Santa Train tickets if you book between now and 4pm on Friday November 29.

This event runs on selected dates from now until December 24 but the offer is only available to new purchases made between November 22 and 29 so you'll have to be quick to bag yours, especially as they're selling out fast.
