Summer Santa

Following the success of last year, Summer Santa is coming back on Saturday 4th July 2026!

As bonkers as it sounds, celebrating Christmas in July has become a tradition at The Valley.

Between 11am and 3:30pm, you can meet Santa on his summer holidays at the railway, have your picture taken with him and receive a small gift, (you must show a valid railway ticket to meet Santa).

Other events at The Valley include;

Live Entertainment on the Airstream Stage

For the first time ever, we will have a vibrant staged event, upbeat live music in intervals throughout the afternoon, and a buzzing atmosphere make this the perfect mid‑year celebration for all ages. It’s Christmas cheer with summer energy.

Snowfall in the Mall

Because Christmas isn’t complete without a flurry or two, we’ll have snow machine intervals in the mall all day. Keep an eye out for the surprise snowfalls and enjoy a touch of winter magic.

A Traditional Touch

A classic Christmas tree will be standing proudly in the mall all month, adding a traditional sparkle to your visit.

So, dust off your favourite Christmas jumper and join us at The Valley for a day of festive fun!
