United Kingdom (Commonwealth Union)_ Father Christmas is getting ready to spread some festive cheer by visiting streets around a town.
Starting on 10th December, firefighters from Crowland will be joining Santa Claus during his popular sleigh ride around the town over three nights.
The team will be raising money for The Firefighters Charity and will be handing out sweets as they make their way around the town.
A spokesman said the firefighters were looking forward to the event but have warned of a few changes.
She said: “The route is slightly different again this year so please look closely so you don’t miss him, but as in previous years you will be able to track his route.”
She said that Santa and his helpers will have lollies for the children kindly donated by Ye Olde Abbey and as with previous years they will not be knocking on doors but their helpers will gladly collect donations from you which will be donated to The Firefighter’s Charity.
