Name: Santa Tours
Start: 2024-12-24T16:00:00+00:00
Location: Parish of Great Aycliffe

On a very busy Christmas Eve we are lucky to have Santa tour the streets of our parish with his team of driver and navigator, to keep him on track. They stop in as many streets as possible to dispense Christmas cheer for children (of all ages!) Santa checks that children have been behaving during the year and he promises to see if he can bring them a gift from their wish list.
Santa does have a schedule which shows the approximate times you can expect him at your location. Please note that Santa can be held up by bad weather and may be late or sometimes even early. Santa has also asked that you congregate at locations that are easy for him to access on his sleigh, as on Christmas Eve some streets can be too narrow to enter due to parked cars.
The map, routes and approximate times can be found in this event, on GATC's website go to https://www.great-aycliffe.gov.uk/about/events-2/santa-tours/ and are also printed in the Newton News (Friday 13th December edition).
Don’t want to miss Santa? Keep an eye out on the time, there will be live updates on our Facebook page and listen out for the Christmas music and bells from 3:45pm.
