Hemel Rotary Santa Sleigh

Cashless donations

As the result of a problem with SumUp, our Sleigh account with them was unable to process cashless donations after 11.22 am on Saturday December 22. However, within 90 minutes, we were able to reactivate our readers to make payment into the account of Kings Langley Bowls Club. So, some Card receipts will show payment to that Club. Rest assured that all of them will be credited to the Sleigh. The problem with the Sleigh account has been resolved with effect from this morning (December 24)

tonight’s route cancelled due to bad weather

Sorry to inform everyone that tonight’s route around Adeyfield is cancelled. BUT It will take place tomorrow evening instead.

🎅 Santa’s Sleigh Is Already Spreading Christmas Magic! 🎄

Santa and his Rotary elves have been travelling around Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley and Abbots Langley for over a week now, and it’s been fantastic to see so many families coming out to wave, smile and share the festive spirit.

The nights may be cold, but the welcome from local residents has been incredibly warm. Thank you to everyone who has already supported the Hemel Rotary Santa Sleigh, helping us raise funds for local charities and community projects.

There are still plenty more routes and static events to come — so if Santa hasn’t visited your street yet, don’t worry… he’s on his way!

Santa has come to town.

The much loved Santa Sleigh has returned again, spreading festive cheer across Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley and Abbots Langley raising thousands for local causes.

To find out when the sleigh will be visiting your street or a location nearby, check out our  Streetfinder, Town maps and Calendar on this website.

And to find out where Santa is RIGHT NOW, when he’s on a route which comes your way, use our Santa Tracker, which has live updates on his current location.

Last year, we raised more than £17,000.  And since it’s launch, ten years ago, the annual sleigh activity has raised more than £130,000 for local charities and organisations, thanks to the generosity of sponsors and residents who turn out year after year to support this initiative.

This year the sleigh will travel along 25 routes and appear at nine local venues. Children and adults will have the opportunity to meet Santa or Mrs Claus in person, with festive photo opportunities available at various stops on the routes and at our static events.
