THE FESTIVE season is off to a rocky start with Santa delaying his first visit to the city. 

Worcester's first Santa Sleigh event has been cancelled outside the Guildhall due to poor expected weather conditions. 

The Met Office predicts the city will be under near-constant rain tomorrow (November 23) which has also cancelled the Christmas Light Switch-on and lantern parade. 

Santa's first visit will now be on November 27 at The Harleys in Warndon Villages.
