The big man in red is in on his way back to the East Kent Railway for the ever-popular Santa by Train event!

Every weekend from Saturday 18 November until Christmas Eve, you can enjoy a festive ride on a decorated train with onboard music, lights and entertainment and meet Santa in his Grotto. Each child receives an age-appropriate gift, sweets and a drink on the train.
