Santa Express
On Saturday 12th December and Sunday 13th December, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!
Once again, the TLC have arranged for Father Christmas to take some time out from his very busy schedule to visit Whitworth and district in December. He will be sledding through the town in his custom-built 4-wheel drive sleigh on Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th of December, between 6 and 8pm. His main route will be between Healey and Britannia. Due to the good behaviour of the boys and girls last year at Bacup Town Centre, the committee has agreed to make this extra stop once again. Santa will be calling at most of the residential areas of Whitworth as he travels around, driving slowly to allow families to wave as he passes by. It would be impossible to cover every single street, but the volunteers have worked hard to ensure that you won’t have far to go to see him drive by.
Residents are encouraged to come out and meet Father Christmas as he makes short stops at allocated points and Santa’s helpers will be handing out sweets at the allocated stops. The sleigh will also stop at local businesses, including The Birches, The Ashcroft and Lobden Golf Club. Father Christmas is excited to see everyone out and waving this year and joining in the festivities. Anyone wanting to request a mention from Father Christmas on the night, please email whitworthtlc@gmail.com by Thursday 10th December and state which Santa stop you will be waiting at.
Preparations for this event are still underway, once finalised the timings for the Santa Stops will be published here.
