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.

A meeting with Santa is suitable for children of all ages, but children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

What you can expect:

– Visit Santa in his Victorian parlour at the Railway Village Museum, 34 Faringdon Road
– Browse the stalls and games at the Central Community Centre
– Create your own Winter Wreath at our workshop in the Central Community Centre
– Enjoy a slice of homemade cake, a mince pie, hot drinks and other refreshments at the Community Centre

How much will it cost?

Entry is FREE for the Event so you can browse the stalls, play the games and enjoy a hot cup of tea and a mince pie for a small donation.
– Tickets to see Santa are £3.50 each and include a small gift. You will be able to see more details and book Santa Soon.
– The Winter Wreath making workshop is £20 per wreath, and you can book here.
