Peterborough Lions Carol Float

Every year, Santa joins Peterborough Lions for some cheerful seasonal songs and to collect money for our funds to support local causes.

You can find Santa outside supermarkets in the Peterborough area in December. And in recent years Santa has been taking his sleigh out around Peterborough houses to bring good cheer to you without you leaving home to find him!

The dates and routes for 2019 are below:

  • Saturday/Sunday 7th/8th December: Morrisons, Cardea/Stanground (Static)
  • Tuesday 10th December: Werrington (Mobile)
