Santa is back on his sleigh from this evening

Sunday, 17 December 2023 00:00

The Idmiston Group Santa Sleigh Run returns to the streets of Salisbury and South Wiltshire this evening.

The team runs around different areas this year over the next six nights.

They start this evening in West Harnham on Britford Lane before heading around Harnham and then into the City Centre. They are due to start at 5:00 pm.

You can see the day's route and track Santa this year on our tracker, which can be found here - https://salisburyradio.co.uk/santa-run-tracker/

The sleigh draws large crowds as it blasts out festive anthems, bringing its own slow flurry and Santa’s elves (some not so short) and helpers hand out sweets to the young people in attendance.

This year, they are running on six dates from this evening through to the 22nd of December.
