SANTA is busy putting the finishing touches to his sleigh as Lichfield Round Table prepares to hit the road once more.
A new paint job, upgraded electrics and lighting have been added as the group prepares to spread the Christmas spirit in the city and surrounding villages.
Volunteers last year raised more than £21,500 for local groups and charities.
A spokesperson for Lichfield Round Table said:
“Every year, our sleigh brings thousands of smiles to families across the district.
“Thanks to the incredible dedication of our volunteers, the sleigh is looking better than ever.
“Last year our efforts helped raise over £21,500 for local good causes – and we can’t wait to bring festive joy to Lichfield once again.
“Every donation received during sleigh season goes straight back into supporting local charities, schools, groups, and families.”

This is good news as I really love seeing Santa coming around on his sleigh it really cheers me up. The only issue is that part of Eastern Avenue where the never ending roadworks are will be closed from 1 December until 12 December from 7pm until 7am, I hope Santa can still make it.
