THE spirit of Christmas is well and truly alive in Hyde, where Santa himself will be paying a visit.
He will be at a number of locations around the town this month and local good causes will benefit.
Hyde Rotary Club organises it every year and asks for donations, however small, which will go towards supporting local charities.
The club’s Santa sleigh will be travelling around five different routes – as chosen by local residents – and visiting three supermarkets before the big day.
The Rotarians say routes are subject to weather, road conditions and the number of helpers on each day and night. Anyone who is able to volunteer is asked to send a message to the Hyde Rotary Club Facebook page here.
