Leamington is set to see the arrival of not one, but hundreds of Santa Clauses this weekend, with Warwickshire's Largest Santa Dash.

The event will take place this Sunday 14 December at 9am, with those participating dressed head to toe in a santa suit or other festive clothing, while they run, jog or walk around Victoria Park and Leamington Spa throughout the 5K route.

Children can also take part in the mini dash, starting at 10.05am, for those under the age of eight.

Even the dogs can take part with Santa Paws!

Food and drink will be available to purchase on the day with a variety of breakfast items.

Guests can enjoy the variety of Christmas performances and sing along to the classic carols to get you into the Christmas spirit.
