When will Father Christmas sleigh visit Worcester streets?

Whittington's Santa Sleigh is be almost twice as busy as last year with planned visits to 11 locations in and around the city. 

The sleigh, a passion project of Whittington Community Event Group, was built last year and along with bringing smiles to both children and adults, raised more than £2,000 for local charities and good causes. 

Adam Hooper, Chairman of WCEG, said: "Last year we decided to do something nice and something new so we decided to build a sleigh. 

"It's all really about bringing the community together all the while raising money for charities and good local causes.

"We are going to go around Bransford and Rushwick as well as a couple of other little places.

"It's very exciting because we have had a lot of other enquires from other places after last years success and this year we will be out for 11 nights instead of six.

"We are always looking for more elves (volunteers) so if you have some spare time for a rewarding cause then please get in touch."

Mr Hooper continued: "It's exciting, you can hear the buzz and when you get around the corner the children cant believe it.

"It's really rewarding and raises thousands for good causes. 

"I grew up in Worcester and as a child we used to have a Santa Sleigh. 

"Now I live just outside Worcester and it doesn't quite reach us so we decided to do it ourselves and it's truly special."
