THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED Bromsgrove Santa Sleigh routes for this year have been officially announced by the new custodians of the tradition.
We reported last month how – after the Round Table was unable to continue operating the sleigh – the annual festive spectacle was in jeopardy.
But, thanks to Bromsgrove Rovers AFC, Bromsgrove Logistics and the town’s Ladies’ Circle stepping in, this year’s and future runs will continue.
The new organisers thanked the Bromsgrove Round Table for all their hard work over the years and said they were proud to be taking it on.
Santa’s routes across the district
Father Christmas will start his tour of the district at The Queen’s Head Farmers’ Market from 9am next Saturday, December 2, before heading to Love Aston Fields’ Christmas Party next Sunday, December 3.
On December 4, the man in the big red suit will go to Harwood Park and Rutherford Road and then, on December 5, to Greyfriars, Willow Road, Carol Avenue and Sidemoor.
Santa’s sleigh will tour Deansway, Hilltop and Breakback Road on December 6, then Stoke Prior and Breme Park on December 7 and it will be at Asda from 9am on December 9 and in Stoke Heath later that day.
