The VW Santa Run – Help Us Fill the Van with Christmas Cheer!

Join Us in Supporting Children at Southampton General Hospital This Festive Season

On Sunday 30th November, our very own Chris and Debbie will be joining over 100 festively decorated VW campers for a heartfelt journey from Beaulieu Motor Museum to Southampton General Hospital as part of the annual VW Santa Run.

With vehicles dressed up for Christmas and drivers donning their festive best, this joyful convoy is about more than just spreading holiday cheer—it’s about delivering gifts to children spending their Christmas in hospital.

🎅 What Is the VW Santa Run?

Originally created to support the Piam Brown Children’s Cancer Unit, the VW Santa Run has grown over the years, and now brings presents to children across all wards at Southampton General Hospital. Thanks to the generosity of donors, this event brings a little Christmas magic to children and families facing a difficult time during the festive season.
