It is with great regret that we have had to cancel Santa Specials this year. We realise that this will be a great disappointment to all our regular supporters and particularly to the children.
This decision has not been made lightly. But having spent many hours trying to find a way to deliver not only a safe environment but also a service which you have all come to expect, we have reluctantly come to this decision.
Uppermost in our minds at all times is the safety of all our Mizens supporters and our volunteers. We feel that under the present deteriorating conditions relating to Covid 19, the course of action that has been thrust upon us is the only way that we can maintain the safety standards that you expect of us.
Plans for running in 2021 will be under constant review and any news relating to this will be published here on our website and in social media.
We all look forward to seeing you in the New Year – we miss you all.
It only remains for all of us at to wish you all a safe and happy Christmas

On running days public access to the site from the car park may be barred until 15 Minutes before we open while we prepare for running and while there may be vehicles moving in the public areas. Car park normally closes around 6pm.
We are unable to carry children under the age of 12 months on the trains, or young children without an accompanying adult.
We reserve the right to cease operations early if the weather is really bad, but in any case we will usually try to run trains until about 4pm on regular running days.
The railway is generally open to the public on Sunday afternoons from the beginning of May until the end of September, plus Thursday afternoons in August. We also run on Easter Sunday and New Year's Day. In addition, several Special Events are held including the very popular Santa Specials in December (for which advance booking is required). For details of running days see Timetable and Fares.
In addition to train rides, the site has many other attractions - see Visitor Facilities.
Mizens Railway takes its name from its original location at Mizens Farm, where the headquarters of McLaren is now located. We moved to our present site in 2000 and held our official opening there in May 2002.
The railway is owned by Woking Miniature Railway Society Ltd and the entire operation is run by volunteer members. For information on joining the Society see Membership.
The Society also has a Modellers Section which builds and operates model railways in a variety of scales and gauges.
