Festive family fun in Leicestershire
Leicestershire Promotions has launched a new family fun short break to help families make the most of their festive stay in Leicestershire.
For just £122, a family of four can get onboard the Santa Special steam train at Great Central Railway, ice-skate their way through a Winter Wonderland at Twinlakes family theme park and enjoy 4 star accommodation at Burleigh Court in Loughborough. This unique offer represents a saving of over £90 on standard ticket prices and room rates.
“The Great Central Railway is delighted to be part of the family fun break”, said Kate Tilley of the Great Central Railway. “Together we can help prove Leicestershire is better than Lapland for a festive treat! We look forward to welcoming people from all over the country onboard our award winning Santa Special trains and to the county’s other great attractions.”
Sandy Gyovari, Park and Marketing Manager at Twinlakes Family Theme Park, said: “Christmas is a special time for families, this unique offer delivers a magical experience, fulfilling the little ones dreams and creating wonderful memories for the whole family to cherish – all without the expense of travelling to Lapland!”
Martin Peters, Chief Executive of Leicester Shire Promotions added: “The Festive Family Fun short break is aimed at families with young children who want to experience the magic of Christmas at an affordable price. Instead of trudging around the busy shops, why not treat the family to a well-deserved end of year break and let the kids visit Santa on a traditional steam train, pet a reindeer, or go ice skating and tobogganing?”
