Christmas comes early for charity

June 28, 2025

SOMERSET is set for a surreal sight this weekend as hundreds of Santas on motorbikes ride through towns and villages to raise money for seriously ill children.

On Sunday, June 29, the Santas on a Bike Summer Cruise will see riders in festive fancy dress travel from Asda in Taunton to Little Bridge House Hospice in Fremington.

The annual event supports Children's Hospice South West, bringing together bikers from across the region for a feel-good fundraiser on two wheels.
