Santa outfits were out in force as Winchester's charity Santa fun run took place in the city centre.

The event raised money for Naomi House, a children and young adult's hospice.

Naomi House nursing and medical staff provide individualised nursing care that helps to enhance short lives and allows local families to make the most of their precious time with their children.

Becca Pike, from Naomi House, said: “The event was a real success. It was great to be back in our local city and right in the heart of the city centre. The weather held out and the general public helped to cheer on the runners. A perfect festive and fun Sunday.”

The charity said that 550 people were registered to take part in the event and that they expect to raise £25,000.

Becca said: “DJ and presenter Robbie James came and presented for us. He supports the hospices by presenting at a few of our events.”

Charlotte and Triff, from 2shoez Fitness and Zumba, did the warm up before the run.
