'Santa's on a Bike' returns to the Island for the second year.

The charity event will see hundreds of bearded Father Christmases take to the Island's roads on Saturday, December 14.

Last year, the event raised more than £4,000 for Rebecca House.

Bikers are invited to dress up as Santa, give their bikes a festive makeover and meet at the Grandstand at 10am before setting off at 11am.

The Santas will then complete a lap around the Island, before returning to the Grandstand for 1pm.

Although there’s no cost to take part donations for Rebecca House are encouraged.
