FESTIVE cheer arrived in Ringwood at the weekend, as crowds lined up to see the man himself at the Meeting House.

Santa paraded through the High Street and Market Square on the Ringwood Brewery lorry as Ringwood and Burley Band played Santa Claus is coming to Town.

Poulner Players, Ringwood Fabric and the 3rd Ringwood Scouts created a magical grotto and there were trade stalls to browse for gifts.
