Go North East Santa Bus Tour 2021

Award

Title

Description

Last year Go North East decided to create their very own Santa Bus to spread some festive cheer across the region in the run-up to Christmas. The idea of this was to put smiles back on people's faces after the challenging year we all had due to the pandemic. With most Santa events cancelled, this was a great way for everyone to still see Santa whilst still maintaining social distancing rules. The bus travelled over 300 miles across the North East visiting as many villages, towns, and cities as possible.

Following its success, with thousands of people lining the streets to wave at Santa and his helpers, Go North East decided to bring the Santa Bus back for another year. This time they went bigger and better with more lights, decorations, and even one step further with their very own Santa tracker. The Santa tracker allowed everyone to track the bus in real-time by using the Go North East website or their mobile app.

On top of that, this year I was also privileged enough to be asked to help with this year’s tour. Anyone who knows me knows that this was an opportunity which I couldn’t say no to and am very thankful to be asked. This allowed me to experience how much the Santa Bus really means to everyone in the local communities. It was very overwhelming seeing first-hand the happiness, excitement, and impact the Santa Bus has on everyone who came to see it. This is exactly why I have created this video to highlight just some of the amazing parts of the event.

Now to the most important part. I just want to say a huge Thank You to everyone at Go North East! That includes everyone who has helped pull off the Santa Bus and everyone who helps make the wheels turn day in and day out. As well, a big thank you from myself for allowing me to get involved with this great project and for allowing me to make this video. Buses are a massive part of the community if that’s getting you from A to B or driving Santa around town. So, from everyone in the North East THANK YOU.

A big thanks to everyone who sent in and allowed me to show off their pictures in this video. If you would like to see everyone else’s pictures and videos check out “#GNESantaBus” on all social media sites.

Merry Christmas Everyone, thanks for all the support throughout the year!
