Santa Bus heading to Newquay this weekend

The Santa Bus will return to Newquay this Sunday as part of its 2025 tour across Plymouth and Cornwall.

The festive fundraiser sees Santa and his helpers travel through local communities collecting donations for two charities: Hugs Plymouth, and LARF Cornwall, which supports young people living with cancer.

The annual event is organised by volunteers, with Go Cornwall Bus donating the vehicle and operational support.

The Santa Bus will make its way through a number of communities on Sunday evening, starting in Mitchell before heading to Fraddon, Indian Queens, St Columb Major and Nansledan. It ill then head towards the town centre and finish in St Columb Minor.

Residents are encouraged to give Santa a wave and support the fundraising if they can.
