Santas on a Bike event returns to South Molton

South Molton is gearing up for the return of the popular Santas on a Bike event on December 14, which promises to be a festive and fun-filled day for all ages. 

The Mayor’s Fundraiser for Children’s Hospice South West will see over 100 Santas, including those on bikes, trikes, and quads, ride into the town to spread Christmas cheer and raise funds for a worthy cause.

The event kicks off at 11am, when the Santas will gather in the town square. 

They are expected to arrive in South Molton around 10:45am, having departed from Taunton earlier that morning. 

This year, there will be new parking arrangements on High Street for the Santas, allowing participants and attendees to enjoy an hour of mingling, photo opportunities, and festive fun.

Festivities in the town square will include reindeer petting, a meet-and-greet with Santa, Christmas carols, performances by the South Molton Town Band, and a raffle stall.

The event aims to bring the community together for an afternoon of family-friendly activities while supporting the vital work of Children’s Hospice South West.

Free refreshments will be available throughout the event for the santas, and a brass band will help create a festive atmosphere. 

A collection will also be held to support the Children’s Hospice South West, which provides vital care and support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families.

At 12pm, the Santas will make their way to Little Bridge House, part of Children’s Hospice South West, where they are expected to arrive around 1.15pm.
