Rennie Grove Santa Float returns to Tring and surrounding villages

Rennie Grove Hospice Care is bringing its Santa float and festive cheer to Tring and the surrounding villages again this December.

Between Sunday, December 5, and Sunday, December 19 (with a few days off – Santa needs some time for other important Christmas prep after all) the big man and his elves will be raising smiles and all-important funds throughout Tring, Weston Turville, Cheddington, Pitstone, Wigginton and Marsworth.

The generous support from the public for the Santa float usually brings in more than £5,000 for Rennie Grove to support local families affected by life-limiting illness.

Thanks to all elves kindly volunteering their time for free – including local Scouts group the Oddy Explorers on Monday, December 6, and volunteers from Tring Athletic Football Club on Monday, December 13, - all proceeds go directly towards hospice care for local patients and their families.

Check Santa’s schedule below and listen out for the Christmas music from around 5.45pm - 4pm on Sundays.

And if seeing Santa makes you and your loved ones smile, please make a donation if you can. You can donate in a number of ways:

Christmas Tree Farm in Berkhamsted are also selling Reindeer Food in aid of Rennie Grove, and they have a wishing well available to make a Christmas donation, with proceeds donated to the charity.
