Father Christmas Sleigh Rounds return for 2024.
It seems the elves at the B-P Guild are on Santa’s ‘nice’ list again this year, because we’re pleased to report that they’ve received their annual missive from the man himself (delivered by Rudolph, who made a terrible mess in the Guide Hut Car Park, but that’s another story) asking them to assist him on his sleigh rounds. We’re thrilled to say they have graciously accepted, and the Sleigh Rounds and Christmas Morning Deliveries are back again!
Please see below for a list of Father Christmas’s whereabouts during December. The rounds commence at approximately 7pm and you should be able to hear them coming with Christmas carols playing.
If you can donate, there will be plenty of Elves carrying collection buckets, and every penny goes to Guild good causes throughout the year, including the Senior Citizen’s jolly in September. He’ll also be making an appearance at the Village Square (outside Hawthorn Vets) and at Swains Farm Shop during the day on various dates.
