Santa on Wheels is back - find out when and where

Santa Claus is coming to town... so make sure you don't miss him!

The big man in red will once again be touring the Borough and spreading some seasonal joy with the welcome return of Santa on Wheels.

You can give Santa a big wave as he hits the streets from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 December on his magical open-top bus, decked out with dazzling lights and playing fabulous festive music to get everyone in the Christmas spirit!

Councillor Steve Nelson, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's Cabinet Member for Health, Leisure and Culture, said: "Santa on Wheels is hugely popular and always puts a smile on the faces of thousands of people, young and old, who turn out to see him.

"We know everyone is as excited as we are to see Santa's return this Christmas, but he's on a strict schedule to reach as many streets as possible on his four-night visit so unfortunately he won't be able to stop.

"But Santa and his trusty elves will be waving to everyone as they pass, so come out and give them a cheer!

"You can check the routes and location tracker each night before they set off to make sure you don't miss this magical event."

Santa's location can be viewed in real time each night. The routes are slightly different this year due to roadworks, but you can view the routes for all four evenings and find the location tracker on the Council's
