Get ready for our Polar Express!

Following on from the very successful St Luke’s Fair at the end of October, the Kirkby Stephen Town Forum is now busy organising their Christmas event for Saturday December 1.

Last year’s Christmas bash was the Frost Fair organised by Town Forum member Steve Messam and his Fold Gallery with the beautiful grotto at Jubilee Park, and introduced the Mummers plays.

This year the forum is working in partnership with the Stainmore Railway Company, which is busy renovating the old station to include Santa’s Grotto.

Classic Coaches will take children and parents on a magical ride to the station and see the progress with the museum, shop, Grizedale coaches and engines.  They will see Ivor the Engine and Thomas the Tank memorabilia and can stop for festive refreshments in the buffet car.
