If you have any issues on the day please call the dedicated Swingbridge phone line: 07821 666742

Santa’s ‘sleigh’ will be waiting for you at Millmead Lock (Millmead Island), Guildford, GU2 4BB.

It is behind the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and there is parking available in the Millbrook Car Park just along from the theatre.

Join us on our Swingbridge Tranquility broadbeam boat for a gentle festive family cruise along the River Wey. Enjoy mince pies and a glass of mulled wine on the way.

Meet Santa and see Guildford from the river.

The boat will depart from Millmead Island for a 45 minute cruise upstream.

All profits raised will support our work of enabling local people to overcome the disadvantage of low skills, poor educational achievement, limited opportunities and tough financial circumstances.

Please note: Children over the age of one have to be legally allocated a space, therefore will be charge at full rate. Children under the age of one will not be charged but must be held by a parent/carer at all times and will still need to have a place booked.

Please also note: The cruises on 30th November will be quiet trips with no singing.

If you require a seat for someone in a wheelchair, please call the box office on 01483 501200.

Important information: As Swingbridge Tranquility is equipped with an all-weather canopy we can cruise in all weathers. However, trips are subject to river conditions and in the event of the river being closed we will offer ticket holders the opportunity to meet Santa on-board at Dapdune Wharf. Unfortunately as Surrey Care Trust are a charity, there are no refunds unless an event is completely cancelled. Ticket holders will be notified as early as possible of cancelled departures. Please note that there is a very limited storage space for buggies and prams.

The children's behaviour and safety is the responsibility of their parent or carer. No refund will be offered should customers be running late and the boat has departed on time.
