SANTA Claus will be touring Durham in a car-drawn sleigh thanks to the efforts of local Rotarians.
The Rotary Club of Durham City is again organising the charity event. Last year, £4,000 was collected for various causes.
Club spokesman Derek Sowell said: "It is very popular. The mothers and their kiddies wait for us to turn up and listen for the sound of the music.
"We donated to 23 local charities last year, so we do spread it wide. This year, we will be donating to charities including St Cuthbert's Hospice, Alington House, Cruse and Victim Support.''
