I wish to cancel my booking?
All bookings made are non-refundable.
Do I need to prebook?
Yes, pre booking is essential and spaces are limited so early booking is strongly recommended.
Can I bring my buggy?
No, owing to the train ride we cannot facilitate buggies as part of your Santa visit but walking is minimal on the experience.
What time do I need to arrive at?
Our train departures adhere to a strict timetable so we request you arrive and be checking in a minimum of 15 minutes before your booking.
We cannot accommodate late arrivals.
We have visited Santa every year in Wells – has the experience changed completely?
We recognised so many visitors missed Santa at Wells and we wanted to deliver a new experience but retain some of our most popular elements of The Great Victorian Christmas.
This year we have a new workshop for Mrs Claus and a new train journey through the woodlands but you will still decorate your bauble to bring home and enjoy a private family visit as part of your experience.
For families who have attended since the launch of our Wells Wonderful Christmas Experience there will be a new story and a new adventure!
I have booked but now need to change my booking, can I do this?
We will endeavour to assist any changes to booking if we there is availability on other time slots but there will be an admin fee for this process.
We recommend checking dates and early booking to avoid disappointment and arriving 15 minutes before your booking time.
