Melksham Lions are very pleased to be able to attend as well as organise a number of events throughout the year, and from time to time we like to get together for a bit of a social too. Here you’ll find a list of dates, events and activities that we have on our calendar; we look forward to seeing you for some of them 🙂

Every year, the Melksham Lions look forward to taking Santa around the streets of Melksham and meeting everyone at our supermarket collections.
Right now, though, Santa is enjoying a well-earned summer holiday (even Father Christmas deserves a break!), so we are waiting for him to return before we can finalise this year's schedule.
As soon as Santa's back, we will share all the dates, locations and times right here.
Keep an eye on this page... Christmas is closer than you think, and Santa will be back before you know it!
