Town centre reindeer parade and festive fun

REINDEER will be parading through Rotherham town centre on Saturday  - so make sure you get down there and see Santa’s friends up close.

There will be entertainment throughout the day from 10.30am until 3.30pm with the Reindeer Parade starting at 12.45pm.

Rudolph and co will be travelling through the town centre, before entering a viewing area outside Boots, where they will stay until 3pm.

Entertainment includes panto-style comedy from Ain't Nothing like a Dame – be sure to look out for them as they create mayhem around the town.

For those feeling creative, there will be a chance to make and take home Christmas crafts with Dawn from The Craft Corner and Bea'rs Den or decorate a cupcake with Let’s Learn Locally.

There will also be festive favourites aplenty with musical performances from Thorpe Hesley Brass Band and Rotherham Music Service, next to All Saints’ Square, guaranteed to get you in the Christmas spirit.

Parking is free all weekend in all council-owned car parks and on-street parking bays.
