The Seahorse Coffee Bar will be open to ensure that people can stay warm with a hot chocolate and treats for the family.

Day two will see him touring around north Portchester where he will start at the precinct at 4.30pm for children to meet him before he takes off again to head to JCT off the Crossway and the Station Road at approximately 5.30pm.

The Portchester Fire Station will be posting live updates for people to track so that whether it is raining or dry, people will not be left waiting around too long before they get to see Santa.
