Santa Sleigh gears up for its second busy week

As Santa’s sleigh gears up for its second busy week of appearances in the county town, the organisers have reminded the public there are still opportunities to catch up with the seasonal attraction.

In the run-up to Christmas, the Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club sleigh will be making a total of 13 more supermarket visits with the last one at Asda between 12.00-6.00 on December 23.

Between now and then Santa will be making a total of four further visits to Tesco and three to each of Morrison’s, Sainsbury’s and Asda.

Sandwiched in between, the sleigh will be touring Weir Hill for three hours from 6.00-9.00 on the 14th and Oteley Road for two hours starting at 6.00pm on the 21st.

“The sleigh has been popular wherever it has appeared so far in this season’s calendar of visits,” said organiser Rotarian Fred McDonogh of Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club.

“There will still be many local people enthusiastic about seeing Santa before the programme concludes on the 23rd. So the opportunities are plentiful and we hope local people will continue to support the sleigh with the same enthusiasm and generosity as they have demonstrated so far.”

He added that donations through the collection boxes will be for Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club local charities.
