Richard Tyldsley, General Manager at Southern Vectis, says:
“We’re one of the only Christmas lights bus tours in the UK – and we’ve now been running this extravaganza for more than two decades.

“This time around, we’re offering a very special stop at our charity of the year – the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, where people can buy mulled wine, hot chocolate and other festive treats from the cafe. The Wildheart shop will also be open, offering wonderful Christmas gift ideas.
“We’re also stopping at a fabulous display at a home in Carisbrooke – which so many people asked us about, following last year’s festivities.
“We see lots of familiar faces returning to enjoy the tour year-after-year – and many tell us it’s the traditional start of Christmas celebrations for them. Our drivers love it too and they really get into the festive spirit by decorating their buses with tinsel, playing carols and dressing as Santa.“It lasts for around two hours – including the stop over. A wonderful way to celebrate the start the season!”
