The Christmas Float

The Christmas Float

Join the festive fun as the impressive Christmas Float begins its tour around North Bristol and South Glos!

It's a sight to behold for all ages - full of sparkling lights and even a real live Santa. Seeing the Float pass is a perfect evening to add to your Christmas traditions. 

Not only is the Float a loud and bright evening of festive fun, but it also raises a huge amount for charity every winter, and this year we're so grateful that the Christmas Float is raising funds for St Peter's Hospice and Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity. There will be volunteers with buckets and card readers walking alongside the float.
