SANTA will hit the streets of Warrington to take part in the Christmas lights switch on next month.

Father Christmas will set up his toy shop on November 14 from 5.30pm near to the skittles on Bridge Street.

This is part of the Warrington Lions' annual Christmas fundraiser.

Santa will then return to the same spot on November 22 when Warrington Mayor Cllr Ted Finnegan will officially open the Grotto for Warrington Disability Partnership at noon.

Children will be able to visit him at the Grotto, where entry will be £3.50.

He will then progress to Warrington Market after the sledge has travelled around the town centre.
