Christmas is arriving early for families in Shepton Mallet, as Santa Claus himself will be making a special appearance at the Bath and West Showground on two dates this December.

On Saturday 7th and Saturday 14th December, Santa will be stopping by during his busy festive schedule to meet children and families enjoying a ride on the popular miniature trains.

Organised by the East Somerset Society of Model and Experimental Engineers (ESSMEE), the event promises a magical day out for the whole family. The miniature trains will be running throughout the day, offering a unique and fun way to celebrate the holiday season. Families will have the chance to meet Santa during their ride, and every child will receive a special Christmas present from him as part of the experience.

Tickets are priced at £13, which covers entry for one child and two adults. This not only includes the ride on the miniature train and a gift for each child, but also festive refreshments. Adults can enjoy a warming cup of mulled wine and a mince pie, while tea, juice, and biscuits will be on hand for younger guests and non-drinkers.

The festive event, set against the backdrop of the Bath and West Showground, near Shepton Mallet, is sure to be a hit with families looking for a fun and affordable day out during the busy run-up to Christmas. The combination of the miniature train ride, Santa's visit, and seasonal treats makes this event a wonderful way to get into the festive spirit.

Whether it's the excitement of meeting Santa, the joy of the train ride, or simply soaking up the festive atmosphere with a warm drink and a mince pie, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Tickets are expected to sell quickly, so families are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment. To reserve your spot, visit new.essmee.org.uk/shop/. For any enquiries or additional information, you can contact the organisers directly at [email protected].

Don't miss out on this festive experience – Santa will only be at the Bath and West Showground for these two dates, so make sure to grab your tickets and join in the holiday fun!
