FATHER Christmas and his elves will spread festive cheer across Bournemouth over the next few weeks.
Santa will board his sleigh and visit a number of locations between now and Christmas.
He can be seen between 5pm and 8pm in Winton on December 2, Southbourne on December 4 and Boscombe on December 12.
He will then return to Southbourne on December 12 before heading to Moordown on December 16 and lower Charminster on December 19.
Additionally, people will be able to find his sleigh outside Tesco in Branksome between 10am and 4pm on December 8 and at Tesco in Castle Lane from 11am to 4pm on December 22.
Father Christmas will also appear in Westbourne Arcade on December 7, accompanied by some of his elves, collecting donations for good causes.
The event has been organised by Westbourne Rotary Club.
People are encouraged to wave at Father Christmas when he goes past their homes and to make a donation for charity.
This can be done by giving cash on the night, visiting westbournerotary.org.uk or at justgiving.com/westbournerotary.
