Santa Specials

Timetable

Trains will depart from Sittingbourne Viaduct station at 10.55am, 11.55am, 1.55pm & 2.55pm on 2/3, 9/10, 16-18 & 23 December 2023. 

The fare includes the round trip from Sittingbourne Viaduct station.

After the 15 minute journey to Kemsley Down, Father Christmas’ elves will lead passengers to the Footplate Café where adults receive their seasonal refreshments. Children will be called to visit Santa’s Grotto (Group 1 passengers will go straight to the Grotto, Groups 2 & 3 will be called for at the Footplate Café). At least one adult must accompany a child visiting Santa – the child will receive a personalised Christmas card and be able to choose a gift from a selection of quality toys. The toys are not wrapped so they choose the gift they want.

There will be some time afterwards to venture out and look around Kemsley Down where we have a shop and garden railway. This year, the museum will be closed as it will be used as Santa’s Grotto and is be located close to the Footplate Café.

The train will return to Sittingbourne Viaduct station to complete the entire trip within two hours.
