Every child wants to see Santa at Christmas, but busy shops with long queues and hour-long waits to see Santa can quickly drain your Christmas cheer…
Enjoy an exciting half-hour journey from Woody Bay Station to Killington Lane and back by steam train. At Woody Bay you can then get into the real Christmas spirit, experiencing the magic of Christmas with the chance to meet Santa himself!

Late Bookings / On the Day
Please use the Santa booking form or the booking system below to book in advance if you wish to visit Santa - we very strongly recommend advanced booking if you are thinking of visiting.
We will try to accommodate last-minute bookings or visitors on the day without advance bookings, but this is strictly subject to availability. In 2007 many trains were fully booked, so please get in early! For bookings received after 30th November, tickets will be held at the booking office for collection on your day of travel.
Alterations / Cancellations
Refunds can be made only if cancellations are notified at least seven days before the date of travel. A £3 admin charge will be made for all cancellations, changes, alterations or exchanges.
Refunds cannot be issued if you do not arrive on time, and whilst every effort will be made to accommodate you on a later train, this cannot be guaranteed.
