   Santa makes his annual festive visit to Newbold Verdon greeting the village residents young and old with a friendly wave as he toured the streets. During his visit Santa was aided by The Market Bosworth Rotary Club who raised funds for local charities with a bucket collection along the route. As he went he passed many houses decorated with sparking lights and the new village christmas tree, stopping at various points he met residents of all ages from just a few months old to 80 plus.

On Friday 17th December a jolly fellow full of festive cheer enlisted the help of his friends at Rotary Club of Market Bosworth and visited the Leicestershire village of Newbold Verdon, The jolly fellow on his sleigh was none other than Father christmas or "Santa Claus". The magical man in the bright red suit was carried along in his snow white sleigh by a vintage tractor and two of his long serving reindeer, waving to village residents young and old with beaming smiles as bright as a thousand twinkling christmas lights. In this short film we see santa arrive in the village before following a route through the streets and on to main street before he sets off into the night to prepare for the big day.

  Just before Christmas in a difficult year, Santa, in Newbold Verdon with his sleigh did appear. With help from some firefighters he traveled each street, he brought festive cheer, a true christmas treat.  In 2020 santa and his sleigh made a socially distanced visit to the Village of Newbold Verdon, We join him on the main road as he enters the village with help from (Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service Market Bosworth), who then guided him on a tour of the village. Children, Families and others watched from a safe distance on the pavement or from upstairs windows waving and bringing festive cheer as he passed by.
