tickets & fares

Join us on another adventure this Christmas!

The Elf Explorer is a festive favourite for volunteers, staff, and visitors at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway — and it sells out fast!
Tickets are limited and always in high demand. Once they’re gone, they’re gone — no extra dates or seats will be added. Don’t miss the train… book early to secure your spot on this magical journey!

Car Parking at Oxenhope Station is £4.00 for a timed slot and is pre-bookable only.
The ticket price includes free travel on the Diesel Train or Special Bus Service, allowing you to travel locally to Oxenhope without needing a car.

This year, we have a limited number of Accessibility Seats. The railway uses rolling stock from the 1950s and 60s, but we have converted one of our coaches to have Accessibility Seating.

If you wish to book for more than 20 people on Elf Explorer, please get in touch with our booking office at bookings@kwvr.co.uk. We will do our best, but tickets sell fast and getting large groups together can be tricky!
