Barry Round Table wants a Santa Sleigh for the future!

THE Barry Round Table is asking for volunteers to help create a brand new Santa Sleigh – one that is fit for the future.

A fixture of the Barry Christmas calendar since 1972, the Sleigh brings festive magic to the streets of Barry while helping to fundraise for local groups, charities and projects.

A Round Table spokesperson said: “The current sleigh is showing its age, having been rebuilt many times by members. This year, the Round Table wants to build a sleigh that’s greener, safer and more magical than ever – but the support of the local community is needed.

“The group is working with local carpenters, mechanics, electricians and sound technicians to create a sleigh that will last for years to come, but the costs of materials and equipment are expected to top £3,000.

“With the community at the heart of the Barry Santa Sleigh, supporters can have their name fixed to the back of the new sleigh for just £30, becoming part of a cherished tradition that spreads joy across the town every December.”

Barry Round Table chairman Daniel Campbell added: “This isn’t just a donation – it’s a legacy. Your name will ride alongside Santa for years to come, helping light up children’s faces and support local good causes. It’s truly something special.

“The Sleigh has become a beloved part of the town’s Christmas celebrations, with every pound raised through this campaign going directly towards building a sleigh fit for the future. Whether it’s a child’s name, family name, business or organisation, we’re looking to bring the Barry community together around this beloved tradition.”
