Youngsters can check out Santa’s sleigh less than a week before the big man’s big day.

Children can ride on the world's only road legal Santa’s Sleigh at The Level, Brighton, between 10am and 4pm on Saturday.

A ride on the festive converted milkfloat will cost £4 per passenger with £1 from each ride going to Brighton Housing Trust to help homeless men and women at the charity’s First Base Day Centre.

The trust is edging closer to its £15,000 fundraising target for its winter appeal with just a few hundred pounds to go.
