Final spaces remain for a trip to Santa's Island!

Looking for something different this Christmas? Get ready for a magically festive adventure as WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre returns with the popular Sail to Santa event.

Kicking off from 6th December, families can hop on board the boat ride to Santa’s Island, with dates available every weekend of December leading up to Christmas, plus 22th & 23th December.

After landing on the beautifully decorated Island, get a personal sit down with Santa himself and receive a gift to take home with you. But the fun doesn’t stop there, as those taking part will also head over to the elves’ workshop and get busy decorating Christmas biscuits and a Christmas tree craft.

The event is easily accessible and limited to eight people per boat ride, as well as support for one wheelchair user per boat ride. This year, WWT Martin Mere will also have a British Sign Language interpreter elf available on 7th, 8th, 12th, 13th, and 21th December.

We’re now down to the final spaces - so if you’re looking to take part we recommend booking as soon as you can to avoid disappointment!

Take a look at our event page for full details.
