🎅 Help Keep the Magic of Santa’s Sleigh Alive in Market Harborough! 🎄
For many years, Santa’s Sleigh has been a much-loved tradition, bringing festive cheer, smiles and Christmas magic to families across Market Harborough. This December, we are determined to keep that tradition going, but we need your help.
We are looking for support from local businesses to help fund a towing vehicle for 21 evenings in December, allowing Santa to continue his journey through the streets of our town and spread joy to children and families.
🚛 Could your business sponsor us towards the cost of a towing vehicle?
Or
🚜 Could you kindly loan us a suitable tow vehicle for the 21 nights that Santa will be out visiting our community?
Every contribution, big or small, will help ensure this cherished tradition can continue and that Santa can bring festive magic to as many families as possible.
If you would like more information or think you may be able to help, please contact us at [email protected]
Thank you for supporting our community and helping to keep the spirit of Christmas alive in Market Harborough! 🎅✨❤️

Thank you to everyone for a lovely weekend at Group Camp!

We had Scouts, Cubs and Beavers for 2 nights and our Squirrels for one. We invested Leaders, Cubs and Beavers. Chief Scout badges were awarded to some.

Our Young people participated in a variety of activities on Saturday which included... Shooting, tomahawks, challenge course, tunneling, fire cooking, orienteering and much more. On Sunday we did a wide game and some silly sports day activities and closed off with a picnic and AGM.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers for making it happen. If you think you want to be part of making some of that magic happen... Please get in touch.
