Santa Claus and friends are coming to Cottam this Sunday (19 December).

Over £1,000 was raised by the group’s parade in 2020. This year they hope to raise even more, with all donations going to Tippings’ 2021 Charity Christmas Lights and Cottam Community Association.

One of the organisers said: “You won’t believe your eyes with the magic, characters, lights and music. It’s a Christmas explosion.

“Please line the roads as we come along the parade route, and give generously to support our local charities.”
