The elves and I are pleased to say that we will once again be making the Isle of Wight Steam Railway our official home this year.

The team at the Railway are so friendly and welcoming and their traditional Christmas Experience teamed with their delightfully dressed guards fills me with nostalgia and makes me feel right at home. The cosy carriage, where I will be waiting to see you, has been decorated with twinkly lights, a tree and of course stocked with gifts. Every child who visits me during my stay will receive a special, quality gift (to either open on the day you see me or popped safely under the tree).

Ensure you visit everything else around the railway that the team have created just for you, including climbing aboard the vintage steam train (you’ll feel just like Harry Potter on his way to Hogwarts).

I look forward to seeing you all… parents too (I hope you’ve been good this year also) and don’t forget to leave a drink and mince pie out for me on Christmas Eve… oh and carrots for the reindeer as they will be working hard all night long too.
