The annual Barry Santa Sleigh is preparing to set off on its rounds around town from next week.
The Barry Round Table event has been a local Christmas tradition since 1972, raising money for local charities and spreading festive cheer in the build up to the big day.
This year, Santa and his elves will be making 14 trips - with local businesses and organisations providing sponsorship to help cover the costs of thousands of sweets distributed during December.
