Thousands descended on Guildhall Square in Derry City, Northern Ireland, on September 9, 2007, to help break the world record for the Largest gathering of Santa Clauses. A total of 12,965 people dressed up as Santa or Santa's helper to smash the previous record of 3,921, which was set during the Santa Dash event in Liverpool City Centre on December 4, 2005 . The Derry record attempt, arranged by Martin Mullan, helped to raise over £100,000 for local charities as well as bring an early splash of festive colour to the city center.
