Children also enjoyed a festive themed Aquamovers session; the After School Club members made various crafts and the fantastic Kidenza Orchestra performed.

in addition, The Coro Nuovo Choir - a leading Sussex choir - helped raise £1,228 at the charity's annual carol concert.

Gareth Germer, Chief Executive of Chailey Heritage Foundation, said: "I want to thank everyone who made it such a special time for our children and young people. There really were some very special events and activities. 2024 is now upon us and as an organisation, we look forward to the coming year with confidence, energy and enthusiasm."
