Santa prepares to spread merriment in Stratford district

Stratford Editorial 3rd Dec, 2021   0

SANTA will be returning to do the rounds in Stratford district.

Accompanying him on his sleigh will be honorary elves from Alcester and Stratford District Round Table, starting from December 4 in Bidford for 14 nights until December 17.

The team, along with volunteers, will be there with collection buckets for cash donations in return for a chocolate treat.

A donation page has also been set up for contactless contributions.




They hope Santa will help raise as much as possible for local causes since other annual fund-raisers fell prey to Covid restrictions.

Last year, Santa’s Sleigh raised £6,750 which was distributed to Arden Foodbank, Stratford Foodbank, Alcester and District Community First Responders, Studley First Responders, Springfield Mind and Alcester Town Football Club.


Chief elf Jeremy Harris said: “This being our only fund-raising event for 2021 we are determined as ever to bring Christmas cheer to all on our routes and it will be great to see so many faces lit up with joy. Santa has promised us that he will once again be on top form dancing to some great Christmas tunes.”
