You better watch out - Santa Claus is coming to town!
Join us as we take Santa on a tour of Mataura and Gore on Saturday 11 December.
Starting at 11:00am at Tulloch Park (Oakland Street end) in Mataura, Santa will visit several parks and playgrounds as listed below.
Children, their families and friends are welcome to wait at each spot to see Santa as he sits in the Merryweather fire truck, before a lolly scramble finishes the visit.
Please note, due to COVID-19 restrictions we ask that any person 12 years and over please wear a face mask or barrier unless medically unable to do so. Due to social distancing requirements, Santa will not be leaving the fire truck and children will be unable to sit on his knee, however, they will be able to stand in front of the truck for a photo opportunity.
Santa and his helpers will only stop at the following locations if there are children already present. If no one is there, he will carry on to the next location. Due to this and the possibility of larger crowds in some places, we cannot give an exact arrival time for each spot.
We ask that you please do not park directly in front of our specified locations so that our vehicles can use those spaces, as we do not want children having to go out on the road to see Santa.
Please do not follow Santa in your vehicles to the next location.
