Table chairman Paul Marsh said: “When Santa visited last year we were able to take him to so many areas of Redditch.

“This year we have updated old routes or added new routes to try and get to more areas and families during the December evenings, we hope to be able to raise a lot of money for the community again this year but we can’t do it without the help and support of Redditch!
