First Christmas adventure for the youngest visitors with a ride in the museum's Vintage Sleigh, a seasonal story and a visit to Santa's grotto.
Coventry Transport Museum is running Early Years Christmas: Experience Sleigh, Stories & Santa on Wednesday 9 and Wednesday 16 December, with indoor sessions at 10.30am, 11.30am, 1pm and 2pm. It's built as a first Christmas adventure for the youngest visitors, and the whole thing revolves around the museum's Vintage Sleigh.
The sleigh carries the children into a winter wonderland of twinkling lights and Christmas elves, where they settle in for a seasonal story and a ride in Santa's sleigh to the North Pole. The journey ends with Father Christmas in his cosy grotto, and the elves' toy shop hands out a special Christmas gift. It's a slow-paced, themed walk-through rather than a quick photo op, so it works best for little ones who can actually sit through a story.
One ticket costs £16 and covers one child plus up to two accompanying adults, which makes it easy to bring along a partner or a grandparent without paying extra. That ticket also includes entry to the rest of the Coventry Transport Museum, so you're not just paying for the Christmas experience. There's a Mini Museum Engineers play session too — hands-on, STEM-inspired activities for little engineers to get stuck into.

If you've never been, the museum houses the largest publicly owned collection of British vehicles on the planet and tells the story of a city that changed the world through transport, with interactive exhibits, star vehicles and a 4D simulator experience. You can spend the rest of the morning wandering through the galleries after the Santa visit. The museum is on Hales Street, Millennium Place, Coventry CV1 1JD, and sessions run on those two Wednesdays in December at 10.30am, 11.30am, 1pm and 2pm.
