The Rotary Club of Dunstable is encouraging little ones to keep their eyes peeled, as the Santa Sleigh continues to visit the town and its surrounding villages.

Deakin-White Real Estate has kindly agreed to sponsor the Sleigh running costs again this year, and the festive vehicle began its tour on December 1.

Ed Restall-Harrison, CEO of The Deakin-White Real Estate Group, said: "We are delighted to be supporting The Rotary Club of Dunstable again this year and helping to bring Santa to local homes. I have fond memories of the Santa float from when I was younger and want as many kids as possible to have the same".

Deakin-White prides itself in supporting local communities, as well as providing "an excellent experience and customer service to those moving home".

It now has five offices across Herts, Beds and Bucks.

Rotary Dunstable President David Footitt, said: “We are delighted that Deakin-White have generously agreed to sponsor the sleigh running costs again this year.
