Darren Butler, the Round Table lead on the Santa Sleigh, said: “This year, we’ve raised more money than ever before for a range of worthy causes.
"It’s been a privilege to accompany Santa and witness the smiles and joy he brings to everyone, from newborns meeting him for the first time, to our visits to care homes where residents have met Santa many times before.”
Shak Khunti, president of Leamington Round Table, added: “There are so many charities within Leamington and Warwick that provide vital services.
