Hundreds of schoolchildren showed off their artistic talents in an unlikely setting.

Nine beach huts along Hove promenade were used to display the paintings and pottery.

More than 260 children from West Hove Junior and Infant Schools produced artwork for the exhibition, dubbed 'Open Huts'.

Organiser Jeff White, a parent governor at the school, said: "It was a fantastic event.

"More than 100 families came and had a look.

"It was totally inclusive - it wasn't just the best of the art, everybody got a chance to exhibit their work, probably for the first time."

He now hopes to make it an annual event.
