CHILDREN can design their very own Snowdog this weekend.

Sean Sims, the artist behind the Merry-Go-Hound on display near the Royal Pavilion, will guide visitors on their designs.

The event takes place from 11am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm today and tomorrow at Brighton Museum and Art Gallery.

All materials will be provided and donations are invited for The Martlets hospice.

Any Brighton and Hove residents can attend for free with proof of address. Other visitors are welcome if they pay the usual museum fee for entry.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

The event is organised by Brighton and Hove rotary clubs which sponsored the Snowdog which stands outside the museum.
