Marcus Robertson, Chairman of Steam Dreams, said “We were thrilled to see so many people at Horsham station to wave us off or travel with us on our trip to Bath earlier in the year and hope that more locals will join us for this special Christmas trip to Oxford.

“To enjoy a carol service in the exquisite setting of Christ Church Cathedral, the only Cathedral located within a University College, will be an unforgettable experience and the perfect way to kick of festive celebrations.”

The 61306 Mayflower will be decorated for the festive season
