Santa Trips Santa Trips are underway but there are still a few spaces available. We're running them as per our current shorter trips but otherwise the format is the same - Santa gets on board Dragonfly and gives each child their own personalised present. He even knows if the child has been on a previous trip! Because we have to order & wrap each child's individual present in advance, ALL Santa trips must be pre-booked.
