Children in Neyland will enjoy a special visitor to the town today, Friday, December 19.

Father Christmas will make his way through the streets of Neyland on his sleigh, before stopping off at the Athletic Club at 5.30pm.

There will be a grotto in the main hall, and children can meet him and have a present.

The Salvation Army band will be playing and Neyland Ladies Choir will be singing carols.

The event is paid for by Neyland Town Council, and is free to all.

The mayor and councillors hope all local children will come to meet Father Christmas, and also wish the people of Neyland a very happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.
