Look Out For Santa
Christmas comes but once a year, time for Billingshurst Lions to bring yule-tide cheer; time for Santa to dust off his hat and cloak and practice ‘Yo Ho Ho’s’ for the local folk.
Once Santa had a cumbersome sleigh, but sadly it collapsed and had had its day. Now, for the modern era, in it’s stead, Santa has a magnificent “Flying Bedstead”.
Every year it journeys from afar sitting proudly on the roof of a car; able to navigate down narrow lanes with its twinkling lights and seasonal refrains,
maintaining the Lion’s much cherished tradition, but, with music of a more popular rendition. As Santa arrives in different places, just look at the wonder on children’s faces.
Mums and Dads appear with fond nostalgia seeing their kids enjoying a former childhood pleasure. As for Billingshurst Lions, it makes their day to hear so many people say, “Christmas doesn’t begin - - till the Lions Santa’s been down our way!”
From Friday 1st December till Saturday 16th December, Santa will again be visiting:- Billingshurst, Slinfold, Loxwood, Barns Green, Wisborough Green and Rudgwick For Dates, Routes, How to “Track Santa” and Donate for Charitable Causes, please check the website <billingshurstlions.org> , Facebook, or Scan the QR Code.

A Big ‘Thank You’ from the Lions for all your generous support
Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year
