A festive Jingle Belle train adventure with Santa at Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway on 12, 13, 19, 20, 23 and 24 December 2026. Book a specific departure time.
Santa Specials return to Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway on selected dates in December 2026. Board the festive Jingle Belle train, enjoy Christmas activities and character encounters, and visit Santa individually with the help of his elves. The experience also includes a wintry festive setting and refreshments available to purchase.
Confirmed dates: Saturday 12, Sunday 13, Saturday 19, Sunday 20, Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 December. These are selected dates rather than daily services. Choose your actual departure date and time on the official Ticket Tailor booking page; departure times vary. The calendar's 10am start and 5pm end are provisional date-range placeholders, NOT confirmed train departure times.
Advance booking is essential. The organiser says all people booked in one transaction will be seated together and asks guests to bring their booking confirmation. Gifts are supplied for children, with the appropriate age group selected during booking. Bookings are non-transferable and generally non-refundable, except if the railway cancels the event. Only assistance dogs may attend. The organiser states the Santa Special experience is not wheelchair accessible, although staff can help visitors who are able to transfer onto the train. Separate reduced-capacity SEND Santa Specials are also offered; see the railway's ticketing pages for those sessions. Confirm accessibility and any specific requirements directly with Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway before buying.
