Questions

What time does Santa come to Pembroke Dock?

Santa is due in Pembroke Dock at 01:34, in the early hours of Christmas Day. Children should be asleep by 22:30, because he only lands when the lights are out. The time is from our make-believe flight plan, and it is the same every year.

When does the Santa tracker start?

The map and every town's flight plan are here all through November and December. On Christmas Eve Santa leaves the North Pole at 10:00, UK time, and the map follows him live until he is home at 11:00 on Christmas Day. He reaches Shetland, his first British stop, at about 21:30.

Is the Santa tracker real?

The flight plan is ours and it is for fun: we work out Santa's route and times from a timetable, so everyone sees the same sleigh at the same moment. The weather warnings are real, read from the Met Office, and so are the sunset times and the distances. For the worldwide trackers, NORAD has followed Santa every Christmas Eve since 1955, and Google runs its own Santa Tracker.

Does it cost anything, and what happens to my postcode?

The tracker is free and there is nothing to sign up for. Your postcode stays in your browser: it goes only to postcodes.io, a free postcode service, to find where it is, and never to us.

Santa's flight plan is make-believe, worked out from where you live. The weather warnings are real, from the Met Office.
