Santas prepare to head to Saintfield event

What an amazing impact when the Santas first appear over Todds Hill in Saintfield. The crowds watching are left speechless.

Now into its 15th year, this spectacular Christmas extravaganza has become one of the most eagerly anticipated on the Christmas calendar.

Riders from all over the province dressed up as Santa will converge on the historical market town to take part.

The day will start with everyone meeting at Andrews Yard 50, Lisburn Rd. Saintfield for a mulled wine and mince pie reception before moving out at 12 noon. The riders will make their way up the Old Belfast Road, turning right into the Lessans Road and following the same route back to Saintfield they have taken for very many years.
