SANTA will be returning this year to spread some Christmas cheer and to raise money for local causes.
Santa's sleigh will be coming to Bridport and Beaminster in socially distanced initiatives organised by Brit Valley Rotary Club with the support of Dorset Council, Bridport Town Council and Dorset Police.
Helping Santa is one of the club's main fundraising events of the year.
The Christmas float will visit Bucky Doo on Saturdays in December as usual albeit with strict social distancing measures in place. Santa will not be able to stop and chat or accept letters - instead he will travel slowly past as many homes as possible and members of the public can wave to him.
Residents are encouraged to text a donation by sending a text to 70450 with a message of 'SANTABVR' followed by the amount you would like to donate. For example, 'SANTABVR1' to donate £1.
