Puddleducks Playgroup hosted the fundraising event, which was held on Sunday, December 10, from 11am to 3pm.

As well as having the chance to meet Santa and his cheerful Elves in the magical grotto, there were stalls and games to enjoy.

Three tombolas, a lucky dip, and the popular raffle were part of the fun, while other attractions included face painting, hot pizzas, yummy cakes and drinks and some local business stalls.

Funds from the Christmas event will go towards providing extra curricular activities for the playgroup's children, such as drama workshops, trips and end of term parties. Funds are also used to buy new toys and equipment.
