The Portstewart Seabirds swimming group will hold a Christmas Eve dip in the sea to raise funds for charity.

Everyone is welcome to come along to Portstewart Strand at 10am. The group said: “Everyone welcome, festive costumes very much desired but not compulsory. Come along for the craic, no doubt there will be some cheeky mulled wine and mince pies to go around!”

The group raises funds for the Olive Branch – a mental health charity which provides counselling free of charge in Coleraine, Ballymena and Magherafelt.
