There's a chance to see Santa in his sleigh in Newton Poppleford on Friday evening, and at Sidmouth's Waitrose store next week.

Sidmouth Lions Club, who organise Santa's visits, said the sleigh has not been able to tour individual roads this year, but children can come and see him at his static sites.

 Santa will be at the Cannon Inn car park in Newton Poppleford from 5.30 until  7.30pm on Friday (December 8).

He will be visiting Waitrose with his helper from 10am until 4pm on Monday, December 11, Wednesday 13, Thursday  14, Friday 15 and Saturday 16.

Sidmouth Lions are very grateful to Hall & Scott Estate Agents for sponsoring the operating costs of the sleigh;  to Central Garage, Sidford, for providing the towing vehicle and Steve's Autos, Sidford, for their support.
