Santa and his sleigh are back to bring Christmas cheer to the streets of Okehampton

National housebuilder Redrow South West is sponsoring the Okehampton Christmas sleigh drive-by for the third year in a row. The much-loved annual event organised by the Okehampton Round table takes place throughout the festive season until 19 December.

The event aims to bring Christmas cheer and treats to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to see Santa. 

The housebuilder’s sponsorship money will go towards the Christmas Sleigh event and also the maintenance of the sleigh itself. It furthermore enables the Roundtable members to carry on their good work in the local community throughout December.

Gareth R Cooper, chairman at the Okehampton Roundtable said: “The Christmas Sleigh is a big part of Okehampton’s festive celebrations and we cannot wait to continue spreading the Christmas cheer this December. We are thrilled to have Redrow join our efforts. We want to lift the spirits of the local community in a time of much concern.”  

Kevin Bradford, area sales manager at Redrow Homes South West commented: “We are honoured to be a contributing factor to the Okehampton Roundtable’s Christmas Sleigh initiative for the third year in a row. The charity does amazing work, and there was therefore no hesitation to sponsor them again this year.

“We’re committed to building thriving communities in the areas close to our development and the sleigh initiative is such a great way to bring the people together this time of year.” 

The Romansfield development in Okehampton is located just a mile from the town centre. It has easy access to a wide range of local amenities and with easy reach of the beautiful Dartmoor National Park, the development offers a perfect combination of country living and town amenities.

The development offers a range of charming two, three and four-bedroom homes all from Redrow’s Heritage Collection which takes inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement in the 1930s.
