Christmas Expedition in De Panne 2026

During the Christmas holidays, families in De Panne set off on the Kerstexpeditie (Christmas Expedition). In the Kerstatelier in the former library on the Lindenlaan, you help Santa save his Christmas.

What can you expect at the Kerstexpeditie?

• Interactive family trail: Santa has discovered that a present for one child is still missing. You solve puzzles in the post office, the living room and the toy factory so the parcel can still be delivered on time.
• Mischievous elves: along the way, look for elves hiding everywhere. One participant can win a Christmas present.
• Christmas village: combine the expedition with a visit to the Christmas village with chalets and an ice rink on the Markt, from Saturday 12 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027.
