Santa Specials

About

This December, hop aboard the historic Shipley Glen Tramway for a festive journey to meet Santa himself. The much-loved Santa Specials are back, offering families a magical experience that includes a return tram ride through the scenic glen and a visit to Santa’s grotto—complete with a gift for every child.

All visits must be pre-booked online with timed tickets to ensure a smooth and queue-free experience.

Entry to the grotto is via the bottom station only, and normal tram rides will still run but may be subject to delays.

For full details and to book your slot, visit the Shipley Glen tramway booking page.
