Santa will be landing in Oakham, Rutland, on Saturday 25 November.

The Lions Club of Rutland will be hosting Santa in his sleigh this Saturday at the Tesco Christmas Fair between 9am and 12pm.

The Lions Club of Rutland was created in 1975 and is a small but important part of the International Association of Lions Clubs, the largest service organisation in the world with 44,500 Clubs in 205 countries, and with a total of 1.3 million members. 

Both locally and nationally, they work hard supporting those who are less fortunate, and fundraise for groups and charities across Rutland helping adults, children, educators, mental health groups and other organisations. 

Being a Rutland based club, they use most of their resources to support Rutlanders, and since 1975 have contributed many thousands of pounds each year to help local organisations and individuals.

They also give to the community in other ways, hosting a range of events throughout the year - but none more anticipated than Santa and his sleigh!

Santa will be returning to Tesco Christmas Market this weekend, along with the D'Ukes of Rutland, who will be performing festive tunes, and the Ladies in Sheds team, who will be selling handmade Christmas goods to raise funds for the Rutland in Sheds project.

Join the fun from 9am into the afternoon at Tesco, South Street, Oakham, Rutland.
