Chichester Lions Club Sleigh returns: When will Father Christmas be visiting the city?

Santa and his sleigh will be returning to the streets of Chichester and Fishbourne once again in what has become a tremendous tradition that has gone on for over half a century.

Families will have the opportunity to wave and greet Father Christmas, and the Chichester Rotary Club will also be in tow, collecting money for charity.

All evening routes start at 6pm and continue until 8.30pm and residents will be able to hear music as father Christmas approaches their street. If for any reason Santa is unable to complete his route organisers will try to arrange for him to visit the roads missed out at a later date.
