People are being given the chance to look round a multi-million pound hospital extension.

The £4.6 million development is at Mill View Hospital in Hove, which cares for people with mental health problems.

Tours of the 40 new rooms in Nevill Avenue are being held on Saturday when staff will be available to answer any questions from the public.

The development includes features created specifically for the building by design students at Brighton University.

A ceramic mural and outdoor bench for the garden will be on show alongside works of art from the charity Paintings in Hospitals.

Quintin Barry, chairman of South Downs Health NHS Trust, said: "It is a real step forward in mental health care to see this new building.

"It will allow us to keep improving the service we offer in this area.

"We look forward to showing local people what we have achieved."

The first patients will move into the new extension from existing wards at Mill View within the next eight weeks.

Patients being cared for at Westbourne Hospital in New Church Road move in during October. The total number of patients at Mill View will be 89.

Tours will take place at 10am, 11am and noon.
