Huntingdon Santa is back again this year. The team has announced the planned areas for 2025. Routes will appear on Facebook on the day of each round. You will also find a live tracker on their website so you know when to head to a nearby point to see Santa.

You will find the live tracker, service updates, and online donation page at huntingdonsanta.co.uk

Planned rounds for 2025:

Wednesday 3 December. Sawtry
Thursday 4 December. Alconbury Weald
Sunday 7 December. Brampton (long round)
Monday 8 December. Houghton and Wyton
Tuesday 9 December. Wyton on the Hill
Wednesday 10 December. Buckden
Thursday 11 December. Hartford
Friday 12 December. Elsworth
Sunday 14 December. Godmanchester (long round)
Monday 15 December. Hemingfords
Tuesday 16 December. Papworth
Wednesday 17 December. Stukeley Meadows
Thursday 18 December. Hinchingbrooke
Sunday 21 December. Oxmoor (long round)

Long rounds start at 4.30pm or 5pm. Other rounds run 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

The Christmas collections are run in the spare time of a few volunteers. Please help your children understand what to expect. Santa might keep moving. He might not wave or stop. He might not reach every street. If you want to make sure you see him, use the tracker and head to a road on the planned route.

If you enjoyed seeing Santa and feel able to help, online donations support future rounds.

The team needs more help this year. If you are part of a local group or want to support your community, please use the volunteer form on the website.

Please be kind to volunteers. They are out for hours in winter weather, and they keep this tradition alive.

Have fun and wrap up warm.
