SANTA EXPRESS 2022

This is the 20th year for Poole's Rotary Santa Express. Santa and his elves will be out and about from Friday 2nd December, bringing some Christmas cheer. 

​

This year, knocking on doors once again, the elves are looking forward to meeting you along the route when collecting for needy local charities.

​

Update:  Door to door collections mean we will probably take the full 2 hours to get around each route. So, please note, the Santa Express may be a little slower travelling along each route this year.

​

Charities are in desperate needs of funds, with even greater demands on their services.  We hope you'll support our Santa Express once again this year. Please use our on-line facility via JustGiving.

​

All cash donated each night will be given to the lead organisation for that evening.  Money donated via JustGiving will be split equally between the participating organisations.

​

You can also donate at Asda, Canford Heath on Saturday 3rd at 3pm, Tesco, Fleetsbridge on Saturday 17th December or Tesco (Branksome) on Thursday or Friday  22nd/23rd December.  For more details please see below.

​

Just check the dates below to find the closest route to you.

​

Simply click on each route in the table below to access the map for that night.  All our mid-week routes start about 6pm (5pm on Saturdays) and take about 2 hours to complete.

​

Listen out for the music - as we approach!

​

Please note that all timings are approximate and these together with the exact routes may vary depending on traffic conditions and weather.  In the event of extreme weather an evening may be cancelled.
