Santa Claus is coming to town

Friday, 23 December 2022 00:00

Father Christmas, his elves and friends, are touring Salisbury and the surrounding area over the next four nights.

It's a big tour taking in many parts of the city, all in aid of raising money for Alabare and River Bourne Community Farm.

A group of mums and dads have got together to bring a little bit of festive magic to the area with their homemade sleigh pulled by reindeer (with a bit of engine-powered assistance).

The team have been helped along with way with contributions from Visual Koncept, Ozweld International and South Coast Plumbing.

With them, they bring music and their own snow flurry as they wind their way around the streets of Salisbury and the surrounding area.
