'You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why, because Santa Claus (and 1000's of friends) are coming to town!'
On Sunday 9th December 2007, The Great English Riviera (commonly known as Torbay) is open to absolutely everyone and will see 1000s of people dressed in Santa suits running/walking/staggering/skipping along the seafront of Torquay. Everyone is invited including you to take part in the biggest seasonal charity event to ever take place on the English Riviera. Forget the running on bulls in Pamplona - we will be having the running of the Santa's in Torbay, South Devon! Raising money for the charity 'When You Wish Upon A Star' - a fantastic organisation that makes dreams come true for children with life threatening illnesses from around the UK.
To take part it really is quite straightforward wherever you may be. It costs just £10 for adults (over 15) to enter, which includes your Santa suit and a medal at the end. Santa's Little
Helpers (under 15) can also take part. For just £5 entry, they get a Christmas hat to run in and receive a medal at the end. All profits go to 'When You Wish Upon A Star' Charity.
Possibly a little far to travel for the day - why not book up tickets to see Angelina's Star Performance at the Princess Theatre, Torquay ( http://www.princesstheatre.org.uk/ ) and make a weekend of it! And if you still have Christmas Shopping to do there are plenty of wonderful shops to choose your nearest and dearest gifts, with the Dartington Centre definitely being the first port of call.
Book a short break in one of our luxury self-catering cottages here at Newbarn Farm for the weekend of the Santa Run and participate and we will deduct the entry fee of the event from the cost of your stay and donate this to the charity. Book any other dates before Christmas and we will donate 5% of your booking fee to 'When You Wish Upon A Star' Charity, quoting Ref:SCR12.
