Rebecca said: “A huge thank you to everyone who gave up their time today to make this possible.
“Obviously it is a difficult year this year, but the Budding Foundation is hoping to raise as much money as possible with their two charity grottos – Santa’s Enchanted Forest at Old Barn Garden Centre near Horsham and Santa’s Grotto at South Downs Nurseries in Hassocks.”
Last year the grottos raised a total of £43,000 to help children’s projects across the area.
