Santa and Bobsleigh are back for Christmas 2026,
bringing festive cheer, Christmas magic and plenty of smiles to communities across Bedford and the surrounding areas.
This year, instead of travelling door to door, Santa and his festive sleigh will be making special appearances at selected supermarkets, shopping centres, gyms and community locations throughout December. It’s the perfect opportunity to stop by, say hello, take a festive selfie and support Keech Hospice.
Whether you’re out shopping, meeting friends or enjoying a family day out, keep an eye out for Santa and Bobsleigh as they spread joy and help raise vital funds for local hospice care.
Where to Find Santa and Bobsleigh
- Route information and appearance dates will be announced soon.
