Local charities and community organisations are being invited to take part in one of Lichfield’s much-loved Christmas traditions as preparations begin for the annual Santa Sleigh fundraiser.
Organised by Lichfield Round Table, the popular festive initiative sees Father Christmas travel through local streets during December, bringing seasonal cheer to families while raising money for worthwhile causes.
Each evening, representatives from participating charities and community groups accompany Santa’s sleigh, helping collect donations and promote the work of local organisations.
Applications to participate open today, Friday 16 October 2026.
The Santa Sleigh has become a familiar part of Christmas in Lichfield, combining festive entertainment with practical support for the local community.
For participating organisations, the initiative provides an opportunity to raise funds, meet residents and increase awareness of their work.
The annual event also depends on volunteers who give their time throughout the Christmas period.
Local charities, voluntary organisations and not-for-profit groups interested in participating are encouraged to follow Lichfield Round Table’s announcements.
Further details about the application process will be published through the organisation’s Facebook page.
