The Santa Bus is back for 2024, bringing festive joy to communities across Cornwall and Plymouth. Organised by Plymouth Citybus and Go Cornwall Bus, the Santa Bus raises funds for two local charities: Penhaligon’s Friends in Cornwall and Jeremiah’s Journey in Plymouth. Both charities provide support to bereaved children, young adults, and their families.
Bringing Joy to Local Communities
The Santa Bus, operated entirely by volunteers, travels through towns and villages, spreading holiday magic. Donations collected along the way will support the vital work of Penhaligon’s Friends and Jeremiah’s Journey. The full route schedule is listed below, with specific times and locations.
