Santa is coming to Town
Poynton Round Table's Santa Sleigh has been making memories for over 30 years, bringing together young helpers from in and around Poynton and bringing festive cheer to the people of Poynton. We're often told that Christmas only starts when the sleigh is in town, the Santa Sleigh will be coming to town this December! You can see his planned schedule for Poynton here.

FAQ's
Why can't Santa appear earlier/later?
The guys of Poynton Round Table are all volunteers, all of whom have full-time jobs and families, meaning we cannot get out earlier on weekdays. The sleigh is also at its best when its in the dark.
The Santa Sleigh is aimed at younger children who need their sleep, and many of whom will have school the following day; which is why Santa disappears at the time he does.
Will Santa be out regardless of the weather?
Santa will always try and get out regardless of the weather (even if it means him and his elves get soaked). We can't ever recall missing a round, however, Rudolph may in exceptional circumstances have to cancel Santa's Sleigh going out due to:
We missed Santa on our route!
If you miss Santa we are sorry. However, he will be back on December 24th overnight to deliver presents to all the boys and girls of Poynton.
Who runs the Poynton Santa Sleigh?
The Poynton Santa Sleigh is run by members of Poynton Round Table, affiliated to the National Association of Round Tables. All members give up their time voluntarily to organise and run the sleigh every December.
