TAMESIDE Rotary’s Santa will be taking to his sleigh and touring the streets of Ashton-under-Lyne once again in the run-up to Christmas.
As we all know, the man himself has got a busy schedule to fulfil in time for the big day.
He will be visiting the town’s various neighbourhoods between Tuesday, December 10, and Thursday, December 19, as well as stopping by at popular shopping locations – so you might bump into him when you’re at the shops!
The mobile routes will take place between 6.30pm and 9pm, when Santa will be accompanied by his helpers, so the Rotary Club can raise funds to continue its valued work.
See when Father Christmas will be coming to a street near you…
