Father Christmas will be visiting Ulverston ahead of the big day - and he will be bringing some of his reindeer too.

Organised by Ulverston Business Improvement District, the free event will take place on Saturday, December 21 and will run from 11am until 3pm.

Residents are encouraged to make the most of the festivities which will see Market Street transformed into the North Pole.

The event will give children the chance to meet and talk to Santa himself, allowing them to list their last minute wishes ahead of the big day.

And, with the festive season being such a busy and expensive time of year, Ulverston BID are hoping that the free activity will serve as a much needed boost for parents in the area.
