Santa and his elves are returning to the World’s Oldest Operating Electric Railway, to meet families and join the train ride!
Tickets are now on sale for the popular event on December 21, 22 and 23, with 6 sessions available each day.
This year’s Santa Express Experience will be a shared group session, allowing families and guests to enjoy the festive magic together.
Families will be greeted by one of the elves at the Volks Railway Aquarium Station and taken through to Santa’s Reading Room, where he will read one of his favourite Christmas stories to all the children and adults.
There will then be an opportunity to take photos with Santa, and each child will receive a Christmas gift.
Then it’s time to wrap up warm and climb aboard one of our heritage trains, where the elves will add their own magical Christmas touch. Passengers will enjoy a festive journey along Brighton seafront with Santa sitting up front, spreading Christmas cheer along the way.
Santa welcomes visitors of all ages. Any adult wishing to enjoy a photo opportunity and receive a gift from Santa should purchase an Adult Santa Express Experience ticket.
There’ll also be an opportunity to buy tickets for the train ride on the day and join in the festive journey, subject to availability and departure times.
Councillor David McGregor, Cabinet Member for Economy, Culture, Heritage and Tourism, said: “Santa’s making a special stop in Brighton again this Christmas, swapping his sleigh for a ride on the Volks Railway!
“It’s a lovely chance for children to meet Santa, hear a Christmas story and then climb aboard one of our historic trains for a festive journey along the seafront. It’s a real special memory for the whole family.
“The Santa Express is always popular, and I’m really pleased that this year even more people can join in the fun, with the option to enjoy a festive train ride without booking the full Santa experience.”
