Hundreds of Santas to take over Bexhill seafront for annual event

And this year is also a Santa Paws event as organisers Bexhill Lions encourage more dog owner’s and their pets to take part.

The fun, family festive event is open to all ages and abilities. The De La Warr Pavilion and Bexhill’s seafront will again be the setting for this sponsored event. Participants will be able to get into the festive spirit, whilst raising vital funds for your chosen good causes.

You can run, jog, walk, push prams, walk the dog or use a wheelchair on the flat user-friendly promenade, 2km or 5km, and this year there will be snow! Adult and child entries each receive a Santa Suit and a medal.

This year the Bexhill Lions are encouraging more dog owners to take part with their dogs, festive costumes for dogs are optional, and all dogs that pay to enter will receive a medal. Don’t forget if you want to wear a Santa suit and receive a medal too you will need to enter separately.

All profits from the Bexhill Lions’ Santa Dash will go to local people/groups in need and profits from our Santa Paws will go to an animal worthy cause. Please keep any dogs on a short lead.

Arrive on Sunday between 10.15 – 11am. Zoe Ward, Fit and Fab, will be performing warm-up exercises to keep you entertained while you wait. The Santa Dash starts at 11.30am

You can register to take part on the De La Warr Pavilion website. The cost is adults £15, children £10 (including Santa Suit and medal), dogs £5 (includes medal)

Suits will be available to pick up on the day of the event at 10am from the De La Warr Pavilion

Adult Santa suits are all one size and will automatically be reserved on entry. Child Santa suits are 7-9yr old or 10-14yr old, so please specify on form. No suits available for dogs but they can come in their own festive outfit if you wish.
