Alton's Santa sleigh is lit up and ready, with reindeer champing at the bit, to bring Santa and his elves to Alton.
A spectacle to welcome Christmas, Santa’s sparkling eco-friendly sleigh began its rounds last Saturday and is visiting as many areas as it can until Sunday.
Alton Lions Club is delighted to lead the community in continuing the Santa sleigh tradition. President Moira Baker said: “This is very much a community event and we would welcome support from anyone who would like to come on board and join in the fun. All money raised will go to local community projects and activities.”
