Visitors to the switch-on of Shrewsbury town’s Christmas lights will be in for a real treat…
For the Rotary Santa sleigh with Father Christmas on board will be positioned at the bottom of Pride Hill before and after the ceremony on Wednesday November 23. The sleigh, which will be towed into town with a vehicle loaned by Furrows Group Ltd., will be on Pride Hill from 5.00 pm until 8.00 pm.
Rotarian Fred McDonogh, president of Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club who will supply the sleigh for the special occasion, said: “This is the first opportunity of the festive season for families with young children to come along and see Santa. He will be happy to have photographs taken and at the same time we shall have elves around the sleigh supervising and also raising money for charity. So on the night of November 23rd there will be a warm welcome to the young and not so young for what has become one of the major highlights of the season.”
