Santa will be out and about in Holbeach and the surrounding area delighting children of all ages in the run up to Christmas.
The Rotary Club of Holbeach is being assisted by other local groups – the MS Society, Holbeach Ladies Football Team, 2nd Moulton Brownies, Long Sutton Guides, Holbeach & District Gymnastics Club & Moulton Seas End Youth Club.
