At 12.00 the Santas will be organised into lines and guided through Magazine Gate, where they will be counted by The Guinness Book of Records’ Adjudicator and awarded a certificate for becoming a “WORLD RECORD BREAKER”.

Once through Magazine Gate the Santas will make their way up Magazine Street, across Butcher Street and onto Upper Magazine Street where they can access the walls at three designated entrances. One ramp will also be available at Palace Street/Upper Magazine Street.
On the walls the Santas will follow a clockwise route. Street entertainers and Santas Helpers will be positioned around the walls giving out small treats to children. Nambarrie will also be at the Millennium Forum and Guildhall Square to supply a “wee cup of tea”.
Participants can leave the walls at any time from one of the exits - Stewards will be available to provide assistance.
