After five wonderful years of Christmas magic, Santa, the elves and the Model Village have decided to have a little elf-sized break.

There will be no Christmas event at the Model Village this year but we’ll be open as usual, the miniature trains will be running and we’ll be busy updating and renovating the model towns.

But don’t worry Santa is just taking a little time to rest, recharge his sleigh and sprinkle more magic into his plans for Christmas 2027. Even Santa needs some time off now and then & the elves have been looking for annual leave!

We’ll be back next year with a brand new festive adventure, and we’re already dreaming up ways to make it bigger, brighter and even more magical.

Over the past five years, we’ve welcomed so many wonderful families to the Model Village to share some festive sparkle. Thank you for five amazing years of Christmas memories.

We can’t wait to make many more festive memories with you in 2027.
