HO, ho, ho...Santa Claus is coming to Bromsgrove streets to bring festive joy thanks to the town's Round Table group.

The annual Santa Sleigh sets off on Wednesday, December 14, and this year there will be a whole host of seasonal fun to accompany the event.

Bromsgrove Round Table is giving two lucky youngsters the chance to meet Santa, who will give them a present and they can have their photo taken with him.

To enter the contest parents just need to go to the group's website. There is also a colouring contest for the town's schoolchildren.

This year the group is collecting cash on its annual rounds for books for first schools in Bromsgrove.

Last year more than £4,400 was raised and the group wants to beat the target this year.

The cash raised was distributed to different deserving causes, including Bromsgrove middle schools for IT equipment, the Air Ambulance and the children's ward at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.

As the Round Table cannot get around all roads in the area Santa will also be at Morrison's, in Bromsgrove, on Saturday, December 17, from 9.30am to 3.30pm to meet children and have his photo taken with them.

The Santa sleigh rota is as follows:

Wednesday, December 14, 6.30pm, Catshill, 8pm, Breme Park; Thursday, December 15, 6.30pm, Woodland Grange (former Barnsley Hall Hospital site), 7.30pm, Pennine Road, 8.15pm, Lea Park; Friday, December 16, 6.30pm, Harwood Park, 8pm, Rutherford Road; Sunday, December 18, 3.30pm, Oakalls; Tuesday, December 20, 6.30pm, Charford; Wednesday, December 21, 6.30pm, Lickey End, 7.30pm, Townsend Farm, 8pm, Blackwood Road, 8.15pm, Stratford Gardens; Thursday, December 22, 6.30pm, Stoke Heath; Friday, December 23, 6.30pm, Forelands, 7.15pm, Hill Top, 7.45pm, Deansway, 8.30pm, Greyfriars (former Whitford Hall School site).
