Santa Begins His Big Tour Of Harborough Tonight!

Santa is touring town in the run-up to Christmas with his team of helpers from the 3rd Market Harborough Scouts.

He is out on his sleigh every night and will be visiting dozens of streets to meet and wave at as many children as possible.

There will be door-to-door collections in aid of the Scouts and Air Ambulance Service, with people asked to give generously.

The Santa Sleigh fundraiser has been running in the town for over 50 years and last year £8,000 was donated.

You should be able to see when Santa is approaching your street via the Santa Sleigh Facebook page, with the team trialling a ‘Santa Tracker’ this year.

Conrad Barnett, Chairman of the Santa Sleigh Committee, spoke to HFM about this year’s fundraiser:
