When you can see Santa on the move

Friday, 9 December 2022 00:00

Salisbury and South Wiltshire residents have various options to see Santa on his sleigh in the lead-up to Christmas.

Father Christmas will be out and about in the local area, riding his sleigh around our local communities thanks to organisations like Wilton Rotary Club, Stonehenge Chamber and Santa Sleigh Run Idminston Group.

The three groups cover much of the area with their car-drawn sleighs with Father Christmas on board to spread the Christmas cheer.

Wilton Rotary will cover Wilton Hill, Quidhampton and Wilton on Saturday 10th and Saturday 17th of December. They will start at Wilton Hill at around 4:45 pm.

To all our friends esp with children 😊, we are excited to confirm that #FatherChristmas will be visiting Wilton Hill, Quidhampton & Wilton this coming Saturday 10th December & the following Saturday 17th December. He should be arriving in Wilton Hill at about 4.45pm. Please RT pic.twitter.com/d8NY4EE5yl
