It’s that magical time of year again — and Santa is on his way back to Formby!

Every Christmas, the Rotary Club of Formby spreads festive cheer across our Bubble with their much-loved Santa Wagon, delighting hundreds of excited children (and plenty of grown-ups too!). The tradition continues this year, with the sleigh setting off on its merry rounds from Sunday 30th November at 4pm.

The Rotary team have been hard at work getting the Carol Wagon ready for Father Christmas’s grand tour around Formby. This is the Club’s biggest fundraising event of the year, and once again they’re hoping our generous community will dig deep to support local charities through donations.

🎁 When and Where:

Santa’s festive journey begins on Sunday 30th November, and he can’t wait to see all the smiling faces as he travels through Formby! The Rotary Club always does its best to cover as many roads as possible — so keep your eyes and ears peeled for the sound of sleigh bells and Christmas music coming your way.

🎅✨ Can You Help Santa This Christmas? ✨🎅

The Rotary Club of Formby is getting ready to spread festive cheer across the village with their much-loved Santa Wagon, but this year they need a little extra help from the community!
