Coun Matthew Morley wrote on social media: “I am really pleased that the local councillors for Stanley and Outwood have come together again to organise the Santa events again.

“These two events are completely free and are really good nights.”

Family’s will have an opportunity to take a picture with Father Christmas and all children will receive a free small gift.

Stalls selling gifts for the big day will also be available.
