PEOPLE of all ages gathered together for the first ever Santa Cycle in aid of the Primrose Hospice.

The event took place at Arrow Valley Park on Saturday, December 7 at Arrow Valley Park.

A Primrose spokesman said: "It all went brilliantly, which we were thrilled with as this was the first time we've held an event of this nature.

"The weather stayed fine and about 85 people of all ages, all dressed up as Santa, really enjoyed cycling around the park in aid of a worthy cause.

"We would like to thank Redditch Council, Choose how you move Redditch, and Redditch Road and Path Cycle Club who all contributed to make it a hugely successful event."
