Countdown to Christmas Day
3 Sleeps to Go!
from 26th November - 24th December 2021
Santa Express
Something’s afoot in Sheffield this Christmas! From the North Pole to Meadowhall, an army of elves has been working around the clock, laying the tracks for a magical mystery tour.
From the end of November and throughout the month of December, you and your family can enjoy a wonderful Christmas experience on the Santa Express. The magical short train ride will feature illuminations alongside the River Don and entertainment from the elves, before you arrive at your destination where a special visitor is waiting to greet you – Santa himself. Santa will be waiting in his warm and festive winter TIPI at the end of the short festive journey, ready for any pictures you might want to take.
Santa Express
The Santa Express will be leaving the station, located next to the Oasis Dining Quarter Courtyard, every 20 minutes from 1.00pm to 7.40pm weekdays, and from 11am to 7.40pm weekends and holidays. The entire experience will last from 30 to 40 mins so have your cameras at the ready for all your festive photo opportunities.
And those resourceful little elves will be on board to keep you amused and entertained throughout your little journey. Santa’s little helpers will be performing a dance routine that will have you and your family tapping your feet and slapping your thighs with laughter. Please be aware, there are no gifts with this experience but Santa will be handing out chocolate treats for all!
Sing along with the elves and wrap you and your family up in the spirit of Christmas on the Santa Express. You’ll be happy, you’ll be spellbound, and most of all – you’ll be chuffed to bits!”
