Coventry's Santa sleigh is open for Christmas 

Holly Clement 25th Nov, 2024   0

TICKETS for Coventry Transport Museum’s Santa’s Vintage Sleigh Ride are now on sale.

The attraction has been in the city for almost seven decades and its popularity means it sells out every year.

The ride sees children ‘flying to Lapland’ to visit Father Christmas, and every child will receive specially made gift.

Tickets also includes admission to the museum and access to Santa’s Workshop complete with fun festive activities.

Matt Mullen, venue manager at the Transport Museum, said: “We look forward to opening the sleigh ride to families all year. So much work and effort goes into making it as magical as possible, but when you see the faces of the children enjoying it you know it’s worthwhile.

“Due to its longevity, over the years it has attracted a devoted following across the West Midlands.




“For many parents and grandparents, it’s a real nostalgia trip – it brings back so many happy childhood memories; while for children it’s a really magical experience.

“We ask people to keep in mind that the ride sells out every year, so you will need to book and I would suggest doing so earlier rather than later.


“The Vintage Sleigh Ride is truly a key part of Coventry’s festive fabric and we’re so proud to have it here at the museum.”

The Sleigh opened on November 22.
