We are very excited to announce that we will be bringing Father Christmas back to Bletchley's Saints Estate this year
We will have music playing, so listen out for us as we won’t be knocking at your door.
Our helpers will have collection buckets, and all donations will be split between Unity MK (formerly The Winter Night Shelter) and MKAct We will also have credit card readers for contact-less donations; and you are able to donate here: https://www.paypal.com/gb/fundraiser/charity/3191662
We always try our best to get out whatever the weather, but the snow got the better of us once before and we had to cancel. Might be best not to promise anyone, just in case. If we have to cancel, we'll notify you on here.
Our route will be the same as previous years: most of, but not necessarily all of Kenilworth Road, Arundel Grove, Warwick Road, Lancaster Gate, Tattenhoe Lane, Whaddon Way, Buckingham Road, St Clements Drive, St Catherine's Avenue, St Pauls Road, St Andrews Road, Shenley Road, Drover Gate and Warwick Road finishing at approximately 8pm
These are the roads which we are planning to visit, but we may not travel along the whole of each road. Listen out for us, we’re quite loud!
If you would like to track our journey please go to our web page where you can (hopefully!) follow us via GPS.

Please don’t request that we come to your road/estate. We are out four times in total. The routes have been worked out with certain requirements in place and we are only a small club, so can’t cover every corner of Milton Keynes. Other organisations also have floats which may come near you.
Finally, please don't follow the float. We aren't a parade, and aren't licensed as such. We would hate to see any mishaps, so please stay on the pavements and wave in safety. Also, please don't follow in your car, this leads to traffic issues and potential accidents too.
