Santa’s Magical Sleigh Touring the Town
Santa is bringing joy to the children again this Christmas around Henley.
Organised by Henley Lions, each night Santa on his sleigh sets off on a tour at 6pm and delights the children who see him.
Last night our Editor, Michaela Clarke was one of the elves out accompanying Santa and collecting for the children’s charities the Lions support around Wilson Avenue, Reading Road, Harpsden Road, Park Road, Marmion Road, Niagara Road and Boston Road. She said, “Santa’s sleigh is one of Henley’s magical traditions which my family grew up with. I was delighted to help and be part of it. Thanks to Henley Lions for organising it and in particular, Mrs Christmas herself, Pam Phillips.”
