About the event:

Santas arrival to Poole

Sunday November 16th

Santa Claus will arrive in Poole on Sunday 16th November for the annual parade that will deliver the merry man to his Dolphin Shopping Centre grotto until Christmas Eve.  But for the first time since the parade began, Santa will travel down the traditional High Street route in his sleigh pulled by four of his reindeers.  Leading the parade will be our very own Miss Christmas and the Christmas children. Town Centre Christmas Lights will be on from this day.

The fun will start at 10.30am when Santa will arrive at the Quay courtesty of the RNLI Lifeboat before mounting his sleigh and preparing his reindeer for the journey to the Dolphin Shopping Centre magical house grotto.  All manner of street entertainers, costumed performers, marching bands and singers will accompany Santa, including the Twister All Stars and Dolphin Marching Band, to name a few.

Festive spirit will fill the air with Christmas carols and popular songs for all to join in, led by children from local schools who will also be taking part in the parade.  Julia's House will be the dedicated charity fundraising along the route and in the Dolphin Shopping Centre, raising much-needed funds for the Dorset children's hospice.
