Rotary announce festive programme of Santa sleigh visits
Rotary’s popular Santa sleigh takes to the streets of Shrewsbury again starting on Monday, 2 December.
The long-established festive programme of sleigh visits begins outside Asda, Abbey Foregate, from 12 noon.
The following day Santa and the sleigh will be travelling round the Monkmoor area between 6pm and 8pm.
On December 6 the sleigh with Santa on board will be on Gains Park and Radbrook, again between 6pm and 8pm, and then on December 7 they will be touring Mount Pleasant between 6pm and 8pm.
Said Rotarian Fred McDonogh who organises the Rotary Santa sleigh appearances in Shrewsbury: "Santa hopes to spend four days each at Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys and Tesco from 12 noon to 6pm daily.
“He will also do a number of neighbourhood tours. The tradition is very much a key part of Shrewsbury’s exciting build-up to Christmas itself and Rotary, as much as the public, enjoys these traditional visits which bring much joy and happiness.”
He added: “The visits form an important part of the club’s annual fundraising campaign which means that the generosity of shoppers and householders is helping those who are unfortunate and in need of support.”
