Santa Claus will arrive at Hartlepool Historic Quay on Saturday to support Hartlepool and District Hospice.
Santa will take up residence at 3pm ahead of the hospice's annual Light Up a Life event, which starts at 6pm, and which allows people to sponsor a light on the Quay's Christmas tree in memory of a loved one or friend.
The name of each person is recorded and a special card and pin badge sent out to each sponsor by the hospice. For more information, call (01429) 860077.
