FATHER Christmas will be touring the streets of Kendal next month - with a little help from Kendal and District Lions.

Every year, the organisation helps him visit streets and estates in the town to wave to excited children and take donations for the Lions' causes.

On Thursday 11 December he will visit Appleby Road/Lower Sandylands and on Friday the 12th of December he will be at Windermere Rd/Kendal Green.

The rest of the timetable is as follows:

Saturday 13 - Upper Heron Hill; Sunday 14 - Kirkbarrow; Monday 15 - Upper Sandylands

Tuesday 16 - Oxenholme/The Oaks; Wednesday 17 - Castle Estate/Rusland Park, Friday 19 - Rinkfield/Lower Heron Hill.

Saturday 20 - Burneside; Sunday 21 - Kendal Parks; Monday 22 - Valley Drive and Tuesday 23 - Wattsfield/Collinfield

Santa is also at The Westmorland Shopping Centre on Saturdays and Sundays for 28-29 November and 6-7 December.

Then from Friday 12 December, every day apart from Sundays up until Christmas Eve.

At Kendal Asda, Santa will be present on four afternoons this year, Sunday 14 Dec; Thursday 18 December, Sunday 21 December and Wednesday 24 December.
