MK Rotary is excited to announce the return of Father Christmas to Newton Leys this year! Music will be playing, so keep an ear out for him—he won’t be knocking at your door.

The helpers will be carrying collection buckets, with all donations going to Unity MK (formerly The Winter Night Shelter) and Smile Train. Credit card readers will also be available for contactless donations. You can donate here: PayPal Link.

MK Rotary always strives to keep to the schedule, but weather conditions can be unpredictable. There was an instance in the past where snow forced a cancellation, so it’s best not to make promises just in case.

Please refrain from requesting specific visits to your road or estate. MK Rotary will be out four times in total, and routes have been designed with various factors in mind. As a small club, they can’t cover every corner of Milton Keynes, and other organisations may also have floats in the area.

Lastly, for safety reasons, please do not follow the float. This is not a parade, and MK Rotary is not licensed as such. It’s important to stay on the pavements and wave from a safe distance. Additionally, please avoid following in cars, as this can lead to traffic issues and potential accidents.
