Claus for celebration: Santa horse trams to run this Christmas

Monday, 16 November 2015 10:36

Christmas is coming and so is Santa and his very special horse tram service, Douglas Borough Council has confirmed.

 

The Santa horse trams are back for 2015 and will run eight times a day on Saturday December 19 and Sunday 20 December, starting at 10am from the Strathallan terminus.

 

Regeneration and Community Committee Chairman Councillor John Skinner said: ‘The horse tram service has a place in the hearts and minds of the people of the Isle of Man year round and especially at Christmas, so the Council is delighted to be able to offer this unique experience once again…to children of all ages.’

 

Prices are unchanged at £7.50 for adults and children aged two to 16, (under-twos travel free) while a group ticket of four costs just £20.

 

Tickets buy a ride on the illuminated Santa tram, a visit to Santa’s grotto and a gift, refreshments in the Strathallan suite and an opportunity to visit the stables.

 

Tickets are on sale now online: click here (credit card payments accepted but attract a charge), from the Borough Treasurer’s counter at Douglas Town Hall or by phoning 696344.
