Hatfield is set for some Christmas cheer in the coming weeks as Santa comes to town.

The big man in red will be visiting areas across the town over the coming 10 days, starting with a test run today, with chances to win gifts if you spot him.

"This year Santa's bringing a gift," read a Facebook post from Hatfield Town Council.

"If you spot Santa out an about over the next 10 days, upload your photos with the hashtag #HatfieldSanta and he'll choose his favourites.

"The winner will bag themselves a laser tag party at Hatfield Kids FunZone."

Santa's rounds have changed from previous years, with his sleigh visiting different parts of Hatfield rather than specific streets.

According to Hatfield Town Council, this will allow to spread even more festive cheer.

"In a slightly different plan this year, Santa is covering set zones within Hatfield, instead of following a strict list of streets.

"This will mean that he can cover as much of each zone as possible within his two-hour drive, and people living in smaller streets that Santa might not be able to drive along will have enough time to get out to see him."
