Men@Work Santa On Tour: Spreading Festive Cheer In Blenheim & Renwick

Get ready for a jolly and festive experience as Men@Work Santa on Tour, in collaboration with HL Marketing & Events, brings Santa Claus to town! This fully volunteered heartwarming event will take place over four nights, spreading joy and holiday spirit throughout the streets of Blenheim and Renwick.

Santa (Chris Lippiatt known as ComedyChris), accompanied by his favorite Christmas music, will embark on a 3-vehicle convoy, joined by the dedicated teams from the Blenheim Volunteer Fire Brigade and Renwick Volunteer Fire Brigade. The tour dates and locations are as follows:

  • Tuesday, 12th December: Springlands, Mayfield & Riversdale
  • Wednesday, 13th December: Blenheim Central & Omaka
  • Thursday, 14th December: Redwoodtown, Witherlea, Taylor Pass
  • Friday, 15th December: Renwick

The festivities kick off at 5:30 pm each night at a predetermined location, where a charity will host a fundraising pop-up event. This ensures that everyone has the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Santa before he hits the streets. The pop-ups will be held at the following locations:

  • Pollard Park - Charity to be confirmed
  • Marlborough A&P; Park with The Red Cross Welfare Support Team
  • Wither Hills Farm Park with Cancer Society
  • Renwick Domain with Idea Services

In the true spirit of giving, each pop-up location will feature a Christmas Gift Bank. Here, attendees are encouraged to donate items such as toys, necessities, and clothes to support those in need during the holiday season. Please note that perishable items like food cannot be accepted.
