A festive feast as Santa Claus comes to Littlehampton

Jolly old St Nick will be parking up his sleigh and paying a visit to the Littlehampton Miniature Railway, from Saturday, December 10.

Santa will be treating visitors to his grotto with a hearty meal during his festive stop-over, at the railway, in Norfolk Gardens.

Spaces for the festive feast are limited and need to be booked in advance.

Tickets cost £12 per person, which includes a train trip from Mewsbrook Park station to Santa’s grotto, where children will get to sit down and meet Father Christmas. It also includes a free drink of non-alcoholic punch, tea or coffee for adults and juice for children,

Youngsters will each get presents, specially-picked by Santa and his little helpers, during the event.

They will then get to sit down and tuck into a two-course meal, at the putting green café, of traditional turkey and cranberry sausages with seasonal vegetables and parsley and thyme mash with a choice of either mince pie or yule log for pudding.

Vegetarian sausages are also available, as are chipolata sausages for those with smaller appetites.

The grotto will be open on Saturday and Sunday, December 10 and 11, as well as on the following weekend, too.

Three sittings are available between 11.30am and 3.30pm during both weekends.
