Father Christmas is visiting Redhill and the surrounding area during the next two weeks! 

His Santa Sleigh runs will be supported by the Redstone and Redhill Rotary and begin tonight when he can be seen travelling through the Whitebushes Estate and South Earlswood.  He’ll be visiting the Redstone Hill area on Wednesday, and the Watercolour and Park 25 estates on Friday.  He’ll then move on to Smallfield and South Nutfield next week. 

Father Christmas’ team will collect donations on their travels which will be used to benefit local charities and community projects.

Information about the exact routes and how to donate can be found: redhillredstonerotary.org/2025/11/santa-collections-2025/
