Santa confirms his 2025 Swanage sleigh schedule!

The wait is over – Santa has revealed when and where he will be visiting all the streets around Swanage and Langton Matravers in Dorset in the run up to Christmas 2025.

Ably assisted by Swanage and Purbeck Rotary, Santa will be handing out sweets to all the children as he winds his way around the town and over to Langton Matravers.

Santa would love to recruit more elves for 2025

Raising funds for good causes

Weather permitting, he’ll also be spreading festive joy and raising funds for good causes.

President of Swanage and Purbeck Rotary Bart Libicki said:

“Please give Santa a big wave when you hear the music and if you’re able to donate generously to help offer support to great causes, we’d be immensely grateful.

“Of course, Santa’s route may be subject to change, so please check our Facebook page for updates and weather-related changes.

“We are always on the lookout for volunteers to help Santa, so if you would like to join our band of happy elves on collecting duty, please email us at swanagesanta@gmail.com

“Thank you for supporting Rotary’s work in our community!”
