The Valley is turning up the festive cheer early again this year with a sun‑soaked celebration the whole family can enjoy. 

Santa is taking a summer break, choosing to holiday at The Valley again in 2026 and we’re going bigger and better than ever before.

Live Entertainment on the Airstream Stage

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

All Aboard The Valley Railway Adventure

Passengers can meet Santa on his summer holidays, and even grab a cheeky selfie with the big man. No booking needed, simply purchase your usual train ticket and hop aboard for a magical mid‑year moment.

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.
