Father Christmas is landing in Hassocks by helicopter this November

On Saturday 19th November, less than two weeks away, Father Christmas (aka Santa) is landing in Hassocks by helicopter! The cheery white-bearded man is due to 'touchdown' at 10.15am and will have presents for the children who are there to greet him.

So, where do we need to be to witness this on 19th November? The man himself will be landing at South Downs Garden Centre, Brighton Road, Hassocks. He will be met by Mrs Christmas and his helpers and will then enter his grotto where he will be residing until Christmas (when obviously he is a very busy man indeed...).

You can see the times and days that he will be at the grotto and open to visitors here.

Money raised from the grotto will go to Burgess Hill and District Lions and will benefit local causes.
