Newark Round Table are going on tour with Santa around Fernwood, Balderton, Hawtonville, Winthorpe and Newark this year

Santa's sleigh is on its way, thanks to Newark Round Table.

Santa will be touring the town and some of the surrounding villages in the evenings from Thursday onwards.

The annual tour is covering fewer routes this year, so anyone who misses Santa can catch up with him in Newark Market Place on Saturday, December 21, from 9am to about 4pm.

The sleigh will be out and about from 6pm (5pm at Fernwood) as follows:

Thursday, December 12 - Farndon

Sunday, December 15 - Fernwood

Monday, December 16 - Balderton

Tuesday, December 17 - Balderton West

Wednesday, December 18 - Hawtonville

Thursday, December 19 - Winthorpe Estate

Saturday, December 21 - Newark Market Place

The exact routes in each area cannot be confirmed, but each night a link will be posted on the club's Facebook page here where Santa can be tracked as his sleigh tours the streets.
