A group of festive fun lovers who have been touring Salisbury and Southern Wiltshire with their sleigh with Santa and some elves aboard have raised over £2000 for two local charities.
The Santa Sleigh Run Idmiston Group is a collection of parents who wanted to bring a little extra festive joy to the local area over the last few years.
They banded together and built a sleigh, added some reindeer, a snow machine, lights and a sound system and set their route.
This year, they toured the local area over four nights, covering much of Salisbury and the surrounding area delighting families and passers-by as Santa greeted them and the elves handed out sweets.
This year's chosen charities were Alabare and River Bourne Community Farm, which will both benefit from the money raised.
