Kilmarnock Santa tour: New maps unveil sleigh routes for every street this Christmas

Santa has unveiled his routes for his grand tour of Kilmarnock next month.

Mr Claus and his merry crew will hit up some of the town's biggest estates in the town ahead of Christmas — see below for detailed maps of every route.

Towed by a tractor, Santa will cruise around the streets bringing cheer to families from Monday, December 13.

His seven-night tour will stretch around five miles each evening with his rounds starting from just after 6pm.

Organisers, known only as Santa's helpers, are also fundraising for worthy causes each night.

And this year cash will be going to CVO East Ayrshire who provide services for those most in need through projects like East Ayrshire Foodbank.

Organisers said: "The routes for Santa sleigh have been decided.

"Each route is about 5 miles walk per night. We understand that people would love to see Santa come down their street but unfortunately it just isn’t possible.

"Santa will start his rounds each night just after 6pm. Please don’t gather at the start point so Santa doesn’t get held back and he can get around as many streets as possible in the time.

"Feel free to take a wee walk to see Santa but remember to adhere to current Covid-19 guidelines.

"This year Santa will be sharing his location via Google maps. Keep an eye on the Facebook page each evening to pick up the link.

"There will be donation collectors with Santa. Please dig deep. All monies raised are being donated to CVO East Ayrshire who provide services for those most in need through projects like East Ayrshire Foodbank.

"The Santa team love bringing some festive cheer to Kilmarnock and from all of Kilmarnock Santa Sleigh team we hope you enjoy it too. "
