SANTA will be letting off steam this month at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in Haven Street.

On December 9, 10, 16, 21 and 22, youngsters who go to the railway will get the chance to meet Santa - as well as a ride on the railway, a gift and a visit to the rail museum.

The Santa Special trips are organised by Wightlink and cost £74.50 for a family of four, including return ferry tickets from the mainland, a ten-mile steam train journey, a goody bag, a gift from Santa, and a drink and a mince pie for mums and dads.
