Santa Claus visits Heywood before Christmas

In his annual visit to Heywood, Santa Claus has been seeing which children have been naughty or nice in the run-up to Christmas.

Joined by volunteers from Rotary Heywood 2020, Santa and his sleigh have made the rounds in the town, bringing smiles to people’s faces, even waving to residents of Millfield Care Home on his visit before returning to Lapland to prepare for Christmas Eve.

 

 

Mike Goldrick, of Rotary Heywood 2020, said: “We have also been round the primary schools of Heywood which has been a fantastic experience for our members, and for the schools, who welcomed us with open arms.”

One of the schools visited said: "Thank you very much for visiting us. The pupils loved seeing Santa and his elf and it really made our Christmas party even more special this year. We appreciate you contacting us and involving us and look forward to Santa visiting us again in the future.

“Merry Christmas to you all, you are doing a fantastic job, you are putting smiles on faces and spreading positivity and enjoyment."
