ALL ABOARD THE SANTA SPECIALS
AT THE KENT & EAST SUSSEX RAILWAY
TAKE A MAGICAL STEAM TRAIN JOURNEY TO MEET
SANTA THIS CHRISTMAS ON THE RAILWAY’S POPULAR
SANTA SPECIALS. AT TENTERDEN STATION THE BEAUTIFUL
VICTORIAN CAROUSEL PROVIDES UNLIMITED FREE RIDES FOR
THE YOUNG AND YOUNG AT HEART ALIKE. THERE WILL ALSO
BE A DELIGHTFUL MINIATURE CHRISTMAS MODEL VILLAGE TO
STROLL ROUND AT TENTERDEN STATION.
On board the festively decorated steam trains,
you'll meet Santa during the 1-hour 10-
minute return journey. Look out for his elf
helpers with their sacks full of lovely presents
– every child receives an age appropriate gift
from Santa himself whilst teenagers (13 to 15)
receive a scrummy box of festive chocolates.
Everyone receives complimentary
refreshments too – a mince pie and choice
of soft or alcoholic drink for adults and a soft
drink and chocolate bar for children. Babies
under 18 months of age at the time of travel
are free of charge (providing they are not
occupying a seat) and there's a little free gift
for them too! Every family will also receive a
free family group photograph to take home
as a momento of the very special day.
