While Father Christmas is sure to be preparing his sleigh and readying his reindeer for his longest trip of the year, he still had time to visit Martlesham and Woodbridge before the big day. 

Organised by the Deben Rotary Club, Santa’s Sleigh will be riding through the towns and villages to wish us all a merry Christmas.
