Lichfield Round Table hoping to spread some Christmas cheer as Santa returns to city streets

Members of Lichfield Round Table are hoping to spread some Christmas cheer as their annual Santa Tableau returns to the city’s streets.

The group are supporting 22 local organisations during the event, but because of coronavirus restrictions they will only be able to take online or text donations.

As well as giving money online, residents can also text Lichfield to 70480 to donate £2, plus the cost of a standard text message.

A spokesperson said:

“Unfortunately, this year Santa cannot stop to chat to children or take photos but we are still going down every street in Lichfield, Shenstone, Whittington, Alrewas, Stonnall, Fradley, Longdon and Kings Bromley.

“We are looking forward to seeing everyone again this year from a safe social distance and would like to wish everyone in Lichfield and the surrounding villages a very happy Christmas.”
