AN Italian restaurant has brought a touch of Christmas magic with flurries of snow for customers and passers-by

Donatello in The Lanes, Brighton, has been surprising and delighting children and adults alike with its annual Christmas spectacle outside the restaurant.

This year it has added some extra sparkle to the city with a realistic snow machine.

Co-owner Sue Addis said: “We always aim to provide a magical Christmas experience for diners with our Italian family atmosphere and this year we’ve pulled out all the stops.”

Anybody making a Christmas booking with Donatello will be entered into a prize draw to win a family trip to see Cinderella which runs from December 23 to 27 at the Hilton Metropole Hotel plus a family meal.
