A Vale of Belvoir based charity is hoping people will get in the festive spirit early by signing up for an annual Santa Fun Run.

Dove Cottage Day Hospice’s annual winter fundraiser has taken place on the first Sunday in December in the picturesque grounds of Belvoir Castle every year for the past four years, and the charity wants this year’s to be the biggest yet.

Choose between 3k, 5k or 10k, and run, walk, skip or jump to raise funds for the hospice. All are welcome to take part, including dogs, and routes are buggy and wheelchair friendly.
