Getting ready for RWB Rotary Santa

4th Dec 2025: Preparing Santa's sleigh for this years visits


Prior to this year's Santa visits in Royal Wootton Bassett and surrounding villages, Rudolf and the sleigh have been to the garage and vet for a check up, followed by a treat at Munchies for being good.

RWB Rotary Santa commences this year on Monday 8th December.

This year’s visits are going to be different to recent years.

Instead of door knocking on houses in RWB and Lyneham, Santa will be visiting predefined “Santa Stops” where he and his elves are hoping to be greeted by a crowd of excited fans!

These changes are necessary as we have fewer volunteers this year, and Rotary Santa is keen to cover as wide an area of the local community as possible.

A schedule has been posted in the RWB & LYNEHAM ADVERTISER, and is attached as a photo here.

There is a list of the proposed Santa Stops and we will do our best to keep to this depending on road traffic conditions and weather which even Santa cannot control. 

As usual our elves will have buckets for collection for those wishing to donate and support our charity fundraising. To aid this our buckets display a QR code to scan and enable direct donations.

Thank you to everyone for all donations that we receive. If you would like to donate and missed the opportunity to do so during Santa's visits, we are also able to receive donations by clicking on this link

All funds collected are distributed to local charities/causes early in the New Year.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible and wish everyone a very Happy Christmas.
