Strathaven is looking forward to celebrating one of the biggest events on its festive calendar when the annual Reindeer Day celebration comes to town.
Thousands of people are expected to line the streets to welcome Santa, pulled by his team of guest reindeer which are visiting from the Cairngorm Reindeer Company.
This year they will touch down at 11.30am on Sunday, December 6, with children invited to visit Santa’s Grotto in Sorbie Hayes in the Common Green from 12pm to 2.30pm for a small entry fee.
Festive revellers will have the opportunity to get up close to the reindeer in their pen on Allison Green.
Father Christmas will also travel through the streets of Strathaven with a wonderful reindeer parade round the Common Green from Allison Green at 2pm.
And there will be an array of market stalls selling Christmas treats as well as some fun rides for the kids, running in Allison Green and Common Green from 11am till 4pm.
The event – organised by the Strathaven Business Association with help from organisations around the town – will get underway at 11am.
Live music and fun in the Common Green kicks off at 12.30pm with pony rides running in the top car park area until 4pm.
Local shops and cafes will be open during the festivities.
