Santa In Swanley
Welcome to Santa in Swanley.
Welcome to the official Santa In Swanley web page, kindly hosted by our partners, Modular Solutions.net.
Here you should find all the latest news and information about the routes and donations. Please note that in 2024, due to volunteering restrictions, we are not going on each route in order of their numbers.
Swanley Village – we are going to be at The Red Lion’s Christmas party night on 7th December Approx 8.30pm.
Once again, we are proudly collecting donations for the Swanley food bank. We fully understand times are hard but if you can support the foodbank in anyway, it would be greatly appreciated. However, please remember you don’t need to donate to take part, just bring your smiles with you.
We are also seeking individually wrapped sweet donations to distribute to children along the route too.

Track Santa Live
On each night of Santa’s tour, when Santa starts at 6pm (4.30PM for Hextable) a link will be posted on Facebook, so you can track Santa live and see how far away he is. Please do check his location against the planned routes to understand how far away he is, apparently Rudolph the red nosed reindeer says there is no fun in straight lines and likes to go around the houses before he gets to you! Please also check the routes below to see which night Santa has planned for you (subject to weather dependent changes).

General Routes Information
These are the planned routes, all routes have been designed with the safety of the children and Santa’s team in mind and won’t be changed unless it is deemed dangerous.
All dates will go ahead weather permitting, if we have to cancel a date due to this, all routes will be pushed back by a day. We don’t want anyone to miss out!
Along the routes you will see numbered stopping points, we’ve tried to place stopping points near roads we can’t get the Sleigh down and safely turned around.
There will be Helpers alongside the Sleigh, who will have buckets of sweets for the children and there will also be collection buckets for food and money if you wish to donate to the foodbank.
There will be lights, music, bubbles & snow – We hope a touch of magic for the all children

Sweet Donations
Santa and his elf’s will be distributing sweets to Children along Santa’s route.
If you can help provide some sweets to be given out that would be amazing. For health and safety reasons, we only allow individually wrapped sweets. Ones like Haribo are great as there are limited allergies associated with this type of sweet.
Sweets can be left at Swanley Pet Centre and will be collected by us. Many thanks to the Jones’ for their continued help and support.
Thank you to everyone who has or is going to donate, it is very much appreciated!
Ho Ho Ho!
Armour Scaffolding UK
Since the beginning of this journey we have been supported by armour scaffolding. From offering shelter to build the sleigh to helping house the trailers when not in use.
Thank you for your support
