The event, which was even more wild and wonderful than last time, saw an enthusiastic crowd come together to swap, donate and get into the spirit of things, under the watchful eye of Ms Garden.
Sussex Beacon said: "The hula hoop made a welcome return, with a devoted Swap Shop regular doing a marvellous job keeping it on the go, whilst also modelling a truly elegant creation!
"We are thrilled to announce that thanks to a particularly keen audience and many donations, including one extremely generous additional donation, the latest Rose Garden’s Swap Shop raised almost £700. A phenomenal amount!
"Our warmest thanks once again to Rose, Rupert and his team at Queens Arms Brighton, as well as everyone who so very kindly donated."
Swap Shop returns on Saturday, 28 June, from 5-7pm at Queens Arms Brighton.
