For safety reasons the Round Table are asking members of the public not to congregate at the starting points. It is better to wave at Santa somewhere along the route.
They have a live 'Santa Tracker' which charts the progress of the float along the route map. This goes live at the start of each route and will show at: https://www.stalbansroundtable.org.uk/
In December 2019 the St Albans Round Table Santa Float raised over £20K for local charities, last year they were able to raise just over £12K which was a massive achievement given the significant restrictions observed at that time. This year they are more of less back to normal and have set a challenging £20K target.
