SANTA EXPRESS 2019
This December, for the 16th year running, the Poole Bay Rotary Santa Express will be out and about around the streets of Poole and Bournemouth. Please check the dates below to find out the closest route to you.
Simply click on each route in the table below to access the map for that night. Most mid-week routes start about 6pm and take about 2 hours to complete.
Come and meet Santa and enjoy the music as we blast our way along the street bringing Christmas cheer to all.
As well as helping to get your Christmas off to a fantastic start, we are also collecting for charity. Thank you for your generous support. In 2018 you donated over £7,700, including the collections at Sainsburys. This brings the total over the last 15 years to £94,527 !!
Please note that all timings are approximate and these together with the exact routes may vary depending on traffic conditions and weather. In the event of extreme weather an evening may be cancelled. We've made small changes to some of the routes this year. These are noted on the relevant maps.
Please take care when you come to see the Santa Express. We recommend that you remain on the pavement, for your own safely. Please be especially careful if you have young children with you.
