Father Christmas and his reindeer are coming to Midsomer Norton on December 1st.

High Street stores will be open late again this year, enabling shoppers to pick up bargains and take in the festive atmosphere.

Street entertainers, fun fair rides and live music will bring the Christmas spirit alive.

Last year's visit proved very popular with the children, who watched in awe as some very special live reindeer pulled Father Christmas on his 'sleigh' down the main street.

This Christmas will be no exception, with the return of these wonderful animals.

Once they've taken their trip down the High Street, children will be able to see them in their pen for the rest of the evening.

Carols are sung throughout the evening and various shops, including Barons Property Centre, will be giving out traditional home made mince pies and refreshments to shoppers.

Many stores will be open from 5.30pm until 9.15pm, so pop into Midsomer Norton and hunt out those gifts for your loved ones.

Make sure you stay to the end and watch the grand fireworks display that closes the annual late night shopping session in style.
