Santa Approves Generous Donations

Crowds gathered Christmas Eve for a memorable community event on Leighton Buzzard High Street

After visiting the streets of Leighton Linslade on nineteen occasions in December, plus a couple of Supermarket stops Santa finished his visit to the area at the memorable Carol Singing & Lantern Parade Event in the town centre on Christmas Eve.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the community Rotary, with Santas permission, has been able to immediately donate £10,000 to local causes ranging from Scouts, Guides & Youth Football through to groups like Freddie & Friends and LB Helping Hands.

Santa will return this coming December 2026 as he he really loves Leighton Linslade
