Santa Claus is coming to town.

Jolly Old Saint Nick will be visiting over 10,000 homes around Congleton in the run-up to Christmas Day.

It has been organised by Congleton Santa, a registered charity who have ensured Father Christmas continues to visit since Congleton Round Table disbanded in 2005.

In doing so, they will help to raise money for other local charities.

A spokesperson reads: "Santa is raring to get on his sleigh and visit the people of Congleton again this year, where he'll be waving to everyone, blasting his festive music and having photos taken with the sleigh, but he asks that you keep a safe distance and don't try to board the sleigh.

"As usual, Santa's elves will be bringing some good cheer and handing out treats as they collect for all the local good causes."

This year, Father Christmas will spend over 50 hours, spread across 21 days, visiting the various neighbourhoods of Congleton.

The festivities get underway on Sunday, November 23.
