Santa and his sleigh to visit Harrogate district

Monday, 18 November 2024 15:02

Santa is coming back to the Harrogate district thanks to Boroughbridge Lions.

Santa will be visiting children on his 'nice list' throughout the Harrogate district again this year.

Thanks to Boroughbridge Lions, Santa and his sleigh will be visiting Boroughbridge and the surrounding villages throughout December.

Starting on 2nd December, Santa will appear in Marton-cum-Grafton, Langthorpe, Great Ouseburn, Green Hammerton, Whixley and Minskip.

He’ll also be at Boroughbridge’s late night shopping event on Wednesday 4th December.

The late night shopping event will see Boroughbridge’s Christman tree switch on in the town square, accompanied by Christmas carols sung by local school choirs.

Local businesses will open their doors into the evening to share the festive cheer and local groups will be providing refreshments from roasted chestnuts to mince pies and mulled wine.

And Father Christmas will be on hand to find out what the little ones would like under the tree when the big day comes.

A spokesperson for the event said:

“Late-night shopping in Boroughbridge is the perfect opportunity to pick up some gift and decoration ideas, enjoy the sounds of Christmas and treat yourself to something yummy.”

Here's where Santa will be throughout December:
