Welcome to the Santa Claus Pub Crawl website

This year we will be celebrating the 6th annual Santa Claus Pub Crawl held here in Manchester.
This event brings people from near and far to spread happiness and merriment to the people of Manchester.

It is charity event that is a lot of fun.

The 2007 event will begin at the Agecroft Rowing Club at 6pm, Saturday December 8.

Santa code of ethics

  1. No Swearing in front of children
    Santa does not swear as this would set a bad example to all the young ones around the world. Ho-Ho-Ho is acceptable, but P**s off d**k head is not. The only exception is if your beard or hat is pulled, you are then well within your right to use the second phrase.
  2. Santa is always on time
    Santa always has the presents delivered to all the households around the world on time. Make sure you are not the last Santa to leave each pub.
  3. Santa loves a drink
    How do you think you are to ensure your nose and cheeks stay rosy and red. Any Santa not wishing to drink will have to wear a bit of blush to fit in.
  4. Santa is not a nudist
    You must wear your Santa suit for the entirety of the pub crawl. There are are two exceptions; the Santa pants down race, or if you meet the right Miss or Mr Santa then you are welcome to remove your fleecy robes, in private!
  5. Santa does not fight
    If any Santa is harassed then a loud Ho Ho Ho or Hey Hey Hey is all that is required, no physical violence is necessary. Santa does not need to bust his/her gut for these disbelieving sods. They will get their comeuppance when they open their Christmas presents.
Any other pub specific rules will be announced on the night.

Thank you

Thank you to all the Santas from previous years who have helped raise money for the new learning centre at Rainbow House
