Santa Claus is coming to Northamptonshire… in a Rust Bucket

Northants-based cancer and neonatal charity, Ailsa’s Aim (charity no. 1188783), is teaming up with another fabulous Northamptonshire organisation, The Rust Bucket Rally, to bring Santa Claus on a sleigh with a cavalcade of silly, beautiful, lit-up cars to some local towns in the run up to Christmas.

A parade of rarely-seen m, colourful rust buckets will accompany Father Christmas on a dazzling sleigh ride through Higham Ferrers on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th, Wellingborough on Wednesday 10th, Thursday 11th and Friday 12th and Olney Thursday 18th and Friday 19th December.

Joy, laughter, music, lights, bubbles and free gifts for children will be spread around, sharing goodwill and raising much-needed funds to support Ailsa’s Aim in their campaigns to provide essential care packs to cancer patients and babies in special care in the region.

Locals and visitors are urged to come to any and all of the runs and give generously via cash or QR code to support this Christmas charity campaign.
