FORGET sleighs, Father Christmas has found a new form of transport to visit Hampshire this year.
Santa Claus was spotted arriving in Lymington on a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) for the town's Christmas on the Quay event.
The inaugural event, organised by Lymington Town Team, brought hundreds of people out for some festive fun, including carols and market stalls.
There was also plenty of fun for children including a bouncy castle, while adults celebrated into the evening with music at The Ship Inn.
