Look who's back... Santa on Wheels returns to the Borough - find out when and where

Santa Claus is coming to town... so make sure to give him a wave!

The big man in red will be spreading plenty of festive cheer across the Borough with the welcome return of Santa on Wheels to get everyone in the mood for Christmas.

Santa's four-day festive open-top bus tour will be decked out with dazzling lights and atmospheric festive music from Thursday 11 to Sunday 14 December.

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's Leader, Councillor Lisa Evans, said: "We are delighted to see Santa on Wheels return this Christmas and his much-loved four-night tour always brings seasonal joy to everyone across the Borough.

"Santa and his trusty elves are on a strict schedule to reach as many streets as possible so unfortunately won't be able to stop, but they will be waving to everyone as they pass. Make sure to come out and give them a cheer!

"Don't forget to check the routes and location tracker each night before they set off so you can get in the Christmas spirit!"

Santa's location can be viewed in real time each night. You can view the routes for all four evenings and find the location tracker on the Council's Santa on Wheels webpage.
