THE 19th Saintfield Christmas Charity Ride was launched in fine style last Friday week, with a sponsor and press reception being kindly hosted by the National Trust at Rowallane Garden, Saintfield and attended by over 40 supporters.

The annual Santa Ride, which will take place this year on Saturday, December 6th, attracts participants from all over the province dressed up as Santa and riding on horseback to the market town of Saintfield. This most spectacular sight is not to be missed.
