SANTA AT KSE 2008
The theme for the 2008 event is 'Carols' and we very much hope that the many shops in the town will design their own window displays based around this theme as they have done in previous years. This has contributed considerably to the very happy atmosphere at the 'Santa' event. Details for KSE have now been finalised and are as follows:
Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December 2008
10am - 4pm
*Travel by Free Vintage Bus from the Town Square to KSE (Saturday only) - buses will run approx. every 30 mins
*Free Admission to KSE - All Welcome
*Santa's Grotto - £1 for Children to meet Santa - gift included
*Free glass of Mulled Wine for all adults - Live Musical Entertainment
*Buffet Car open for refreshments and our new shop will be open for the purchase of Christmas gifts
*Craft stalls, tombola and home-made produce available on the Darlington platform
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL - PLEASE SUPPORT US IF YOU CAN
Last year's event was very popular (our first attempt!) and was a joint effort at the East Station involving ourselves, 'Cumbria Classic Coaches' and the Kirkby Stephen Town Forum (please see the 'Santa' Gallery on Alan Usher's Kirkby Stephen East website and a review is available on the Kirkby Stephen Town website). Unlike last year's 'Santa' which was just held on the Saturday, this year it will involve a full weekend. Hopefully, if this is a success, we plan to gradually expand the event over further weekends with the added attraction of passenger trains operating - hopefully in the not too distant future!
If you would like to get Santa to send your child a Letter,Text or Email, please follow the link below and for ideas for children's Christmas gifts, please see the links at the bottom of the page.
Below are some pictures from last year's event:
