The Weston-super-Mare attraction is playing host to a special family event that grants children, not only the chance to meet Santa Claus but to have a go at flying his famous sleigh as well.
“There will be a life size sleigh replica hooked up to a giant screen” explained ‘Head Flight School Instructor’, Simon Tolley. “Children will be able to climb into the famous sleigh and literally fly their reindeer over a virtual Weston-super-Mare.”
To supervise proceedings, Santa himself will also be dropping in to meet the crowds and offer the would-be Christmas pilots some tips on how to steer reindeer.
He will be flying down from his famous Toy Factory by helicopter and landing on the museums helipad on the morning of the event. He is scheduled to land at 11am (dependent on weather both here and at the North Pole) and is looking forward to greeting all the children from the local area.
Also on the day there will be charity stalls selling toys, books and presents. There will also be games for the younger visitors, open cockpits and helicopter flights in the afternoon (additional cost). Seasonal fayre will also be served throughout the day from the Museum cafe.
The event takes place on Sunday 11th December and children can visit for free (max 2 per single adult).
Hi We would like to use your Santa picture (santa will be returning to the helicopter museum this year) in a Xmas Card and we would put a link to your site. We are an aviation related company. Is it an original picture? If so, can you give us permission to use it.
ReplyDeleteDear Clau,
ReplyDeleteWe would be happy for you to use this picture as long as you credit us on the card accordingly.
Thanks for taking an interest. I would be interested to hear more about your organisation.

This summer, there are also great things to see in Weston-super-mare. I have just book for Weston-Super-Mare holiday cottages and they have awesome accommodations. I can't wait to stay there.
