Due to the popularity of our SEND Santa 2024 experience we are pleased to announce we will be offering this service again during 2025.
These visits to Santa are a specially tailored experience designed for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Families will be able to enjoy all the magic of Christmas together at Whistlestop Valley with a few tweaks here and there to make our event more accessible.
The SEND Santa trains will have calm carriages, reduced capacity numbers, quieter music volume and no flashing lights on the day light trains. The evening SEND departure trains will have flashing lights.
Unfortunately due to the design of our heritage coaches we are unable to accomodate wheelchairs, if the wheelchair user is able to climb a step and walk a short distance we can assist in boarding. Wheelchairs must be able to fold and can be transferred to Shelley North Pole.
