Santa and Bobsleigh are back for Christmas 2026
This year, Santa is doing things a little differently. Instead of travelling around local streets, Santa and Bobsleigh will be making special appearances at selected locations across Bedford and the surrounding areas, giving families and supporters more opportunity to stop by, say hello and enjoy some festive fun while supporting Keech Hospice.
Where can I find Santa and Bobsleigh?
Route information coming soon! They’ll be visiting supermarkets, gyms, shopping centres and other locations across Bedford and the surrounding areas throughout December between 9am-4pm. If you hear the festive tunes and see the sparkly lights, come say hello, snap a selfie, and spread some Christmas cheer!
Follow our Facebook event page for the latest updates – coming soon.
How can I help?
We’re still on the hunt for volunteers to help out with Santa and Bobsleigh, so if you want to make the difference this Christmas, why not donate a few hours of your spare time and help us raise vital funds. We’re looking for Santa’s, drivers, coordinators and collectors so visit the link below to sign up.
Why Santa and Bobsleigh?
Because hospice care should feel like a warm hug – and that’s exactly what Santa and Bobsleigh represent. With every photo, high five, and donation, you’ll be helping to provide vital care to children and adults this Christmas – and beyond. This Christmas, help us do something extraordinary: wrap a family in care — not just for the festive season, but for every moment that matters.
Help us wrap families in care
Did you know, we rely on supporters like you to raise 70% of funds? It costs over £9 million a year to run our hospice, and we couldn’t do it without you. Help us continue wrapping families in care for many more years to come.
- £50 Donation: Could pay for a session of music therapy, helping patients and loved ones communicate difficult thoughts and emotions without words.
- £78 Donation: Could provide specialist nursing care, enabling a person to remain comfortable and pain-free at the end of their life, surrounded by loved ones.
- £105 Donation: Could provide a family with a memorable day out or materials to create memory boxes filled with keepsakes, ensuring cherished memories.
