We love Christmas at the Kent and East Sussex Railway and we have been welcoming families to meet Santa on our trains since 1974!
There's nothing quite like the pleasure of a steam train ride knowing your child will meet Santa and receive a named gift, all without moving from the the comfort of your allocated seats. Sit back, relax and enjoy the journey!
The Santa Special Steam Ride experience for 2026 includes:
Bronze, silver and gold level pacakges available for these santa specials. If you are looking to meet Santa in Kent then visit our website for more information and to book your tickets.
Prices range from £100 - £450 depending on package and number of visitors
