The popular Brilliant Brighton Bricks Trail is back for its sixth year.

The event is running from now until  August 18 and invites locals and visitors to explore the city by spotting and naming 39 little Lego figures hidden in participating businesses.

Then they will be entered into a giveaway with prizes including a Lego set worth up to £79.99 and Brighton gift cards to be spent in city centre businesses.

The trail is organised by Brilliant Brighton, a collective of more than 500 businesses, and community group Brighton Bricks.
