Father Christmas is set to make his annual visit to Leigh and Lowton.

Leigh Rotary Club members will be helping him by towing his sleigh around the streets.

The sleigh will be in action from November 24.

Rotary president Peter Thompson said: "Our members have been hard at work fitting new brakes, tyres and lights to Santa’s sleigh, which will be in action from November 24.

"We ask everyone to carefully check this year’s routes below, as we have to make changes to the streets we visit each year.

"We will not be able to have children on the sleigh, but they are welcome to stand next to it for photos.

"If any adults would like to help with the Santa collections on the street routes or at superstores, please contact any member or email leighrotaryclub@gmail.com."

Santa will visit different areas from 6pm, including Warrington Road, The Avenue, Holden Road, and Wigan Road.

The sleigh will also be at supermarkets from 10am to 4pm, including Asda on December 8 and 14, and Tesco on November 30, December 7, 21, and 23.

A more detailed list of every street that Santa is visiting will shortly appear on the Rotary website and on Facebook.
