The Bramhope Round Table Santa in his colourful float has been a staple of the North Leeds community for decades.
Children and adults alike look forward to Santa and his elves knocking on the doors raising funds for a chosen charity while ringing in the festive cheer with sweets for children.
The charity this year is the Candle Lighters – the childhood cancer charity based in Yorkshire – helping children and parents cope with the disease and diagnosis. According to Bramhope Round Table Chairman Ben Mackenzie:
”We intend to raise a total of £3,000 this year to support our chosen charities, above all we look forward to putting a big smile on the faces of children in the area when they see Santa visiting them in their streets”.

Sunday Dec 12th 4-8pm – Starting at the Adel Memorial Hall, Saddlers, St Helens Lane, Dunstans, Oaklands, Adel Lane and surrounding streets,
