Yet more streets and villages added to Doncaster 2022 Santa Sleigh tour

The festive tours are organised by local Lions clubs – and all four have now finalised their routes for this year.

The annual event, which sees Father Christmas tour the streets of Doncaster ahead of December 25, was cancelled in 2020 due to coronavirus restrictions, leaving thousands of youngsters across the town disappointed.

But it was back for 2021 and Doncaster Lions and Thorne Rural Lions have released dates and routes for 2022, with Went Valley Lions and Tickhill and District Lions also announcing dates.

Please note that the events at The House Martin on 3, 10 and 17 December are ticket only private events, not open to the wider public. Tickets cannot be purchased on the day, they must be purchased in the pub prior to each date.
