Santa's Ride around Town - 2024
From Monday 25 November, Lions, Rotary and Save the Children, will be bringing Christmas cheer and collecting for their worthy causes. See schedule below with lots more news to follow.
Santa and his helpers do their best to visit as many streets as they can. If they don’t catch you at home, or you would like to chat to Santa and take photos, please come to one of the four weekend locations shown below.
Weekday evening runs all start at 6pm. For route plans, see the “What’s On” section of the Visit Felixstowe website and on the day the Visit Felixstowe Facebook page for the Santa tracker details
Santa and his sleigh may wait at the entrances to cul-de-sacs if they are too narrow or busy with cars.

Each year we run five high profile fundraising events to support our work in the local community and beyond. Last Rotary Year (2022/23) we raised almost £60,000. That will take some beating!
