Lions Club of Tavistock
Serving our local community since 1976

Funds Available now for Local Causes

Your money makes a difference!!! We have recently made donations of around £4,000 to local good causes and charities following the hugely successful Carnival and associated fundraising activities.

We don’t make donations to individuals, but If you belong to an organisation that is a Charity or a deserving cause, it is always worth asking if we can make a donation, especially if you have a special event or project. Contact us via email here: enquiries@tavistocklions.org.uk

Father Christmas Experience is coming to Tavistock!

On 13/14 and 20/21 December 2025, Father Christmas will be in the Bedford Hotel Carriage Room and he is excited to meet you! The elves will meet you at the tree-lined walkway and take your children to take part in a 50-minute workshop, which includes:

• cookie decorating

• making a Christmas cracker

• decorating a bauble

The children will then meet Father Christmas in his cosy lounge, with wood burner and festive decor. After a chat with him, they can then have their photo taken, which will be printed and presented in a festive sleeve. Each child will receive a Christmas book and a surprise gift. 

The Bedford Hotel will give a free hot chocolate to children with the "I have seen Santa" sticker if an adult is also purchasing a drink. 

Your visit will bring joy to your little ones, as well as raising funds for Young Lives vs Cancer.
