SANTA is on his way to Middlewich.

Excited children will be able to see his magical sleigh as he visits homes across the town.

Youngsters are being asked to dress up in festive costumes to bring some Christmas cheer.

Details of when Santa will be coming down your street have been announced by Middlewich Round Table.

However, due to Covid regulations, the event is being organised a bit differently this year.

Families are asked to make space, wave and give food donations to the Salvation Army Christmas appeal.

Families are asked to wave and cheer as Santa's sleigh visits streets across Middlewich

Josh Hicks, from Middlewich Round Table, said: "Unfortunately this year we will not be able to hand out lollies. Please don't approach Santa and his helpers.

"From a safe distance, wave, cheer and make as much noise as Santa as possible. Santa would love to see you dress in your flashiest Christmas accessories."

A team of enthusiastic volunteers will make sure everything is done in a Covid safe way.

Helpers will be wearing face masks and following strict sanitisation procedures and social distancing measures.

Residents are invited to leave food donations at the end of their drive for the local Salvation Army.

This is where you will be able to see Santa as he sets out on his route through Middlewich on the following seven evenings at 6pm.
