Following the huge success of the previous years the committee have decided Santa Express will return to the streets of Whitworth again!
Once again, we have arranged for Father Christmas to take some time out from his very busy schedule to visit Whitworth and district in December. He will be sledding through the town in his custom-built 4-wheel drive sleigh on Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd of December, between 6 and 8pm. His route will be between Healey and Britannia. Due to the good behaviour of the boys and girls last year at Bacup Town Centre, the committee has agreed to make this extra stop once again. Santa will be calling at most of the residential areas of Whitworth as he travels around, driving slowly to allow families to wave as he passes by. It would be impossible to cover every single street, but the volunteers have worked hard to ensure that you won’t have far to go to see him drive by.
Residents are encouraged to come out and meet Father Christmas as he makes short stops at allocated points and Santa’s helpers will be handing out sweets at the allocated stops. The sleigh will stop at local businesses, including The Birches, The Ashcroft and Lobden Golf Club.
Santa's elves have been working hard finalising this year's route. Please see below for streets and approximate times.
Finally, please send Father Christmas any photos or videos of the event to whitworthtlc@gmail.com or post them on social media with the hashtag #whitworthsantaexpress
