Ho Ho Ho! The Santa Bus is returning to Brighton
He’s getting the bus, is his sleigh broken?
Esme WilliamsWith Halloween and bonfire night being as distant a memory as our home cooked meals, it's time to get your Christmas cheer on because it's that time of year again. The famous Santa Bus is coming back to Brighton and it's making plenty of stops near you.
Operating from November 23 through to December 18 for a total of 19 days this Christmas period, our favourite bus – apart from our beloved N25 of course – shall be hitting all the routes with plenty a tune galore (can Bublé make an appearance please?)
Returning for its ninth year, the Santa bus shall again be supporting local charities The Argus Appeal and The Martlets. The Argus Appeal work with local communities carrying out a range of enriching services, whilst the Martlets focuses on caring for people with a terminal illness. Last year a record amount of £16,686.21 was raised for the two wonderful charities. This year, with your support, the festive bus could raise even more.
On the days of operation, the dazzling vehicle shall be departing with Santa and Elves in full costume from Brighton & Hove Buses' depot at 17:00, ready to be in service from 17:30 – 20:30 each day. Whilst the bus is out and about, you can even track its whereabouts using this interactive map. A full list of the lucky locations follows:
Thursday 23 November – Goldstone Valley & Surrenden Rd
