There may still be a few weeks until Christmas, but preparations are already well underway for one of Southport’s favourite festive traditions – the Southport Santa Float!
Starting on Monday 30th November 2026, Santa and his dedicated team of volunteers will begin touring Woodvale and Ainsdale, before making their way north through local communities and eventually finishing in Hesketh Bank on 17th December 2026.
The Southport Santa Float is brought to local families by the amazing volunteers from Southport Hesketh Round Table and their supporters (more volunteers are always welcome!)
Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of the Southport community, the Santa Float raised over £9,000 for local charities and community projects during 15 magical nights.
It was made possible through the support of Southport business EFT Group, which created brand-new Santa sleigh for the volunteers.

The annual Santa Float raises vital funds for local good causes while bringing festive cheer to thousands of families across the area.
The Southport Hesketh Round Table is currently finalising routes and timings and hopes to reach as many streets, estates and community locations as possible throughout the tour.
Look out on their social media pages, and on the Stand Up For Southport Facebook group, Instagram page and the Stand Up For Southport Newsletter, for details of the routes as they’re published.
And that’s not all…
The Round Table can also reveal that there is something very special in the pipeline, with an exciting announcement set to be unveiled over the coming weeks.

Southport Hesketh Round Table 1199 has a long-standing reputation for supporting local causes and delivering major community initiatives.
The group has worked closely alongside Southport Football Club on numerous fundraising projects and community events including the Celebrity Charity football match in 2025 and 2026.
Not forgetting the significant role in supporting fundraising efforts that generated more than £300,000 for the families affected by the tragic incident in Southport in July 2024.
Through events, volunteering and charitable activities, Round Table members continue to invest thousands of hours into making a positive difference across the local area.
Whether you’d like to join Round Table, volunteer on the Santa Float, or simply learn more about the organisation, the team would love to hear from you.
