Independent State of Cuckfield: annual Cuckoo Fayre takes place on May Day Bank Holiday Monday, 2nd May, in the Recreation Ground, from 12:00pm, with the official opening by the current Mayor, Ken Gregory, at 1:00pm. Entry is free. Entertainment includes music from The Village Band, Karate display, Magic & Silliness from children’s entertainer Tomfoolery, and a BPM dance display. There is also the ever popular Dog Show, open to all, with many wide ranging classes. And if you don’t win a bottle on the Wheel of Wine, then there is a licensed bar available. As 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the Independent State of Cuckfield we are looking forward to be joined by some of our wonderful previous Mayors for the official opening. The Cuckoo Fayre is an opportunity for all local organisations and charities to raise much needed funds - pitches are still available at £25 each, with all money raised being retained by the organising group. Stalls can be set up from 9:30am. If you would like to book a stall, or need more information, then please contact Jim Ayling at the White Harte, or phone: 01444 413454, or email: [email protected].
