Wolverhampton’s West Park will be transformed into a sea of red suits this December as Beacon Centre for the Blind’s annual Santa Run returns.

Taking place on Sunday 13 December 2026, the festive fundraiser invites people of all ages to don their Santa suits and take part in a 5km walk or run, raising money to support local people living with sight loss.

The event promises plenty of Christmas cheer, with live music from the City of Wolverhampton Council Choir, appearances from Mrs Claus and Elf on the Shelf, and popular host Rupi Lal returning to keep the festivities going.

The Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Paul Singh, will also be there to get proceedings underway.

Four-legged friends are welcome too, with a festive bandana included in the price of every dog ticket. An event photographer will be on hand to capture the occasion, with photographs available to download free of charge afterwards.

Whether taking part with family, friends or colleagues, the event offers a fun way to get into the Christmas spirit while supporting a worthwhile local cause.

The Santa Run takes place at West Park from 9.30am on Sunday 13 December.
