Two Santa sleighs for good causes out in Bury St Edmunds this Christmas




Father Christmas will be out in Bury St Edmunds on two sleighs this festive season.

The Rotary Club of Bury will be taking its Santa sleigh – which has been refurbished since its last outings two years ago – around the town's supermarkets, collecting donations for charity.

David Mansfield, club president, said: “We are so grateful to the supermarkets who let us display the sleigh and collect, to those who house and maintain the sleigh and to all those who turn out to see the sleigh and donate to the Rotary charities and good causes.
