Santa and his friends from the Bodmin Lions will be bringing Christmas cheer to the residents of Bodmin this December.

From December 1 to December 20, the annual Santa tour of the town will take in a majority of residents, with a range of static and moving sleighs meaning that children across Bodmin can have their chance to tell Santa if they've been naughty or nice.

It is believed that Mr Claus told the Lions after appearing at the Bodmin Christmas light switch on that he had set out his route, with the Lions saying: "While Santa was with us last Friday evening for the Christmas Lights switch on he let us know the routes for December and the times and places that he’d be able to visit. He starts this Friday.

"Please spread the word that Santa WILL be out and about again this year in Bodmin with The Lions Club Of Bodmin."

The full routes for Santa's tour of Bodmin can be seen below, with the tours starting at 6pm unless otherwise specified.

The spokesperson for the Bodmin Lions added: "In the event of bad weather or unforeseen circumstances please note that we may have to change/swap the routes or cancel if necessary. We will endeavour to give as much notice as possible."
