Children across the Keighley district are being invited to listen out for Santa as the Keighley Lions take to the streets with their sleigh.

Keighley Lions have run the sleigh tour, sponsored by Colin Appleyard, for more than 20 years. Money collected goes to local charities.

Avril Emmerson, Keighley Lions’ secretary, said Santa met children and handed out sweets.

She said: “We run it up until Christmas and will be in certain areas on certain nights.

“We will be at our usual place, stationary by the side of Keighley Bus Station, on Christmas Eve.”

Barry Walton and Stuart Feeny, from Colin Appleyard, have towed the sleigh every year in an illuminated jeep and are out and about again.
