And a few more surprises.

A local school choir will be singing between 11.30 and noon.

Mark Pearson, Chief Executive of Ashdown Forest, said: "It is the most wonderful setting for what will be an amazing day.

"It is an incredibly special event and there is so much going on to really get everyone into the festive spirit."

There will be free parking in the Centre car park for these four hours.
