SANTA'S helpers at Widnes Rotary Club have been very busy this year. 

They have increased the number of nights they will be out in Widnes and issuing maps ahead of each night. 

The fun starts tonight, Monday, and then most weekday nights in the build-up to Christmas from 6pm each evening. 

For those who missed out, the float will also be at the following locations at weekends:
Asda - Saturday, December 9 - 10am - 4 pm
Asda - Sunday, December 10 - 11 am - 4 pm
Town centre (near Morrisons/TJ Hughes)
Saturday, December 16 - 10 am - 4 pm
Sunday, December 17 - 11 am - 4 pm

Thanks to the generosity of Widnes residents, more than £13,000 was raised during their 2016 Christmas float run last year.
