Christmas in the Railway Village

Kick off your festive season with Christmas in the Railway Village. Santa will be paying a special visit for one day only, and there will be plenty of games, stalls and other activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Children will get the chance to have a chat with Santa about how Christmas has changed in Swindon. There are a range of free games, craft workshops and other activities for the whole family to enjoy while you wait for Santa.

How much will it cost and how can I book?
