FATHER Christmas will be bringing his sleigh to Minehead and families are invited to come and visit him.

Santa will be making a series of visits to tesco, Morrisons, and Lidl stores in the build-up to Christmas.

He will be at Tesco on Thursday and Friday, December 19-20, from 10am until 4pm, at Lidl on Sunday, December 22, from 12pm until 4pm, and Morrison's on Monday December 23, from 10am until 4pm.

The event is being organised by the Minehead and District Lions Club, and a spokesman said: “Come along and tell him what you want for Christmas.

“Mother Christmas and the elves will be dropping in, too. There is no charge to see Santa but donations are appreciated.

“All money raised will be donated to local charities and good causes. See you there.”

The arrival of Santa’s sleigh will be weather dependent.
