The Leatherhead Lions Father Christmas collection raises thousands of pounds for local charities each year
The Leatherhead Lions Club Christmas float is a local institution. For 48 years, the Leatherhead Lions Club have accompanied Santa as he tours roads in the local area, visiting children and raising funds for the Lions’ charities. The Covid year of 2020 was the only year that Father Christmas was unable to visit.

When is Father Christmas visiting?
Father Christmas will set off at approximately the time given below. He’s the one in the sleigh with lights blazing and Christmas music playing! His elves go a little bit ahead, knocking on the doors of houses along the route to let you know he is arriving. Of course, we appreciate any donation you can make to our charities – this can be in cash or ask for a card reader.
When the Elves are behaving themselves, Father Christmas follows the route in the order listed below, so please be patient if he takes a little while to get to you. If, on the night, the weather is exceptionally bad and Rudolf refuses to leave his stable, we will update this page and/or post on our Facebook page.
