SANTA AND BRAND NEW SLEIGH EXPECTED AT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH-ON

Following cancellation of last year’s switch-on of Shrewsbury’s Christmas lights, a Rotary Santa is looking forward to the return on Wednesday.

Shrewsbury Severn Rotary’s Santa will be returning to the club’s familiar spot at the bottom of Pride Hill for a three-hour stint from 5.00 pm to 8.00 pm. Santa is looking forward to meeting and greeting many enthusiastic youngsters during the three hours on what we hope will be a first for Shrewsbury – a brand new ultra-modern sleigh.

The new design is different from any sleigh that has ever been designed and built before. And it will be visiting some of the famous streets and supermarkets in Shrewsbury throughout the Christmas period. Said Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club president David Morris: “We are hoping that the attraction of Santa and our brand new sleigh will attract many families to the switch-on during the three hours. We are also hoping the event will help us raise several hundred pounds for local charities.”
