A 30 FOOT inflatable Santa will be installed on the roof of a Potters Bar pub this afternoon as part of a Christmas lights switch-on event.

The Old Manor, in Wyllyotts Place will be installed at 2pm, coinciding with the Christmas lights switch on.

Last year was the first that the giant Santa made an appearance.

The pub and restaurant is Potters Bar oldest building, dating back to the 13th Century.

General Manager Darren Hoy said: “The Old Manor is at the heart of the Potters Bar community and at Christmas we love being festive – what better way to signal that than to put a giant Santa on the roof.”
