✨ Santa to Land at Oban Airport for a Magical Christmas Experience! ✨

The Oban Winter Festival, in partnership with the Connel Flying Club, is bringing an unforgettable Christmas event to Oban Airport on Sunday 14th December — and you’re invited to witness the magic as Santa Claus arrives by plane!

🎅 Santa Arrives by Air at 11:30am

Children and families can gather at the airport to watch Santa touch down in his very own festive aircraft. His visit will take place inside the Connel Flying Club hangar, which will be transformed into a glittering winter grotto filled with Christmas cheer.

🌟 Free Festive Fun for All

Inside the grotto, children can:

  • Meet Santa and share their Christmas wishes

  • Enjoy free festive crafts

  • Explore beautifully decorated displays

  • Tuck into tasty holiday treats, including a chocolate fountain and candyfloss

This event is completely free to attend — including the grotto, crafts, and treats. Donations are warmly welcomed.
Hot drinks and extra refreshments will also be available to purchase on the day.

Don’t forget to bring your letters to Santa, so he can take them back to the North Pole when he departs!
