Families have been meeting some scary looking characters in Rugby.

Organisers would like to thank the 150 guests who turned out in the cold to enjoy the light up ceremony.

“Visitors got to meet Santa and his elves. It was a really lovely way to start Christmas.”

The celebration raises money for charities including Mind, Macmillan and Warwickshire Air Ambulance. It also helps maintain the cost of the old school field, which is now the responsbility of the association.
