Santa and his elves will start their busy schedule by making an appearance at the town light switch-on on Friday, November 25, which will well and truly get everyone into the festive spirit. Meanwhile, as well as his evening trips through the local streets during December, there are also plans for him to visit Morrisons and Tesco supermarkets.

A spokesman from the Leighton-Linslade Rotary Club, which organises his outings, said: "The discussions with Santa and his elves have been incredibly fruitful again this year! The route maps for his visit are being finalized and will be published soon, but the dates and general areas are now agreed. Santa will also be making a very special appearance at the Christmas Eve carols in the High Street, just before he leaves to go on his epic voyage of delivery."

When asked about his forthcoming visits, Santa replied: "Ho ho ho, I'm completely chuffed to snowflakes to be coming to visit the wonderful people of Leighton Linslade!"
