Santa will embark on a pre-Christmas tour of Wanstead this month, chauffeured through the streets by Elf Steve Hayden aboard his Parker Dairies milk float.
“You can’t beat seeing how much children enjoy seeing Santa. It’s a fun community event that makes everyone smile and injects a bit of magic into Christmas. Please have some change ready for the elves’ collection buckets,” said organisers Amy Moore and Áine Burke.
Santa’s drive-by through Wanstead will take place on 21 December, covering 31 roads from 4.30pm.
“Huge thanks to Parker Dairies, North London Loft Rooms and Terry Tew Sound and Light for supporting this event.”
Funds raised will support local schools and local charities.
