Ferryhill Town Council has announced that it will once again be organising a Santa Tour around Ferryhill this year.
Santa, who will be taking time out of his busy schedule to visit Ferryhill will be resting his reindeer while he is chauffeur driven on a specially adapted vehicle, so that he can wave at children en route.
The event will commence at 4pm on Thursday, 21 December and will include four stopping points along the way, where children will be able to chat and have their photos taken with Santa.
