Epping Ongar Lights Party Express 2026
Its CHRISTMAS! and in keeping with tradition the Epping Ongar Railway has adorned its trains with thousands of exciting lights - its a kaleidoscope of twinkling lights inside and out.
For 2026 we have totally new party themes with irresistible fun for everyone throughout the entire festive season.
Christmas Gold: Unforgettable Festive Magic with those festive pop sing-a-long tunes everyone loves. Perfect for the families of all ages (you're never too old for a sing-song).
Christmas Gold trains run during the evenings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 28 November and 23 December.
___________
Party Anthems: Dance and sing along to classic party songs - you'll know the words to these pop anthems. Slightly older families will love the party atmosphere aboard this train.
Party Anthem Trains leave at 4.45 pm and 6.15 pm on 15 November and 22 November, and after Christmas between 27 December and 2 January. On 31 December the trains leave earlier and you can celebrate the new year in style.
____________
Groove Train: If your thing is Dancing on the ceiling then you are on the train to funky-town! Think 70's and 80's mega pop and DISCO floor-fillers. This vibe is for grown-ups and mature teenagers who wanna dress up, and get movin to the groovin.
Groove Trains leave at 6.15 pm and 7.45 pm on 14 November 21 November and 27 November, and at 7.45 pm between 27 December and 2 January. The Groove Train on 31 December is the last train of 2026 and you can celebrate the new year in style.

You're part of every show with a free LED Interactive wrist band and song sheets to get the party going. Sing, dance and cheer on this magical journey, hosted by the legendary Voiceover Man - laugh with him (or at him!) and compete against each other in his on board game!
We have a licenced bar and a delicious street food truck at Ongar station so you can have a really fun night out.
