The Santa Bus will start travelling through the streets spreading Christmas cheer.

The Argus Appeal and Martlets Hospice's fundraising vehicle will set off on its tour of Brighton, Hove and Saltdean in the Goldstone and Surrenden area in the early evening to raise money for charity.

The tour takes place over 16 days and people are being urged to give generously when elves tap on their door for donations.

Tomorrow night it is due to visit Goldstone Crescent, Queen Victoria Avenue, Woodland Avenue, King George V1 Drive, Sandringham Drive, Varndean Gardens, Surrenden Road and Preston Drove.

On Monday 1/12 it will visit Hangleton.

The joint project has been made possible by sponsorship of Legal and General and help from the technical team at the Theatre Royal Brighton and the loan of the vehicle by Brighton and Hove Bus Company.

For full details of the timetable of streets see theargus.co.uk or follow Argus_Santa on Twitter.

The Santa Bus sets off at around 5pm and will hopefully finish its route around 7.30pm - for updates on its progress follow @Argus_Santa and use #ArgusSantaBus
