Santa is coming to town - and here is where he is stopping in Market Harborough

Santa and his sleigh are set to return to Market Harborough.

The 3rd Market Harborough Scout Group has been running since 1968 and tours the town each night until Christmas visiting as many streets as possible.

Spokesman Conrad Barnett said: “We will be following our usual plan of touring as many streets as we can, bringing Santa to the kids while also doing a door-to-door collection in aid of our scout group and our nominated charity Air Ambulance.”

Santa and his sleigh will leave HQ on Farndon Road at around 4.30pm each night, finishing by around 9pm.

Conrad added: “Our license allows us to collect up to 9pm, but we aim to finish earlier than this.

"Unfortunately, we cannot give times as to when we will be on certain roads because it all depends on what happens each night – like the number of children coming out to see Santa, the weather or any unforeseen circumstances.

"This event is run entirely by volunteers, many who have jobs and families of their own, so please be kind to us!

“We are raising funds for 3rd Market Harborough Scout Group and The Air Ambulance, so please support us.”
