Stone’s Christmas lights are shining bright, festive adverts are on the telly and we’ve had our first snowfall of the year – so it’s time to reveal where Santa will be heading on this year’s tour of the town!
Santa will be travelling around Stone on his sleigh in the run-up to Christmas to raise money for charity. Father Christmas is the special guest of Stone Round Table, which organises the special event each year. Keep an eye out for the man in red in the following areas from Thursday 10th December to the 20th – and please give generously. Stone Round Table raises thousands of pounds each year through the Santa sleigh event, which all goes to local good causes.
Santa and his sleigh will be out and about for around two hours each day on these dates:
