Cuckfield

Cuckfield Village Market: on Saturday 10th December will be a festive Christmas event. It is held in the courtyard of the Talbot pub in the centre of Cuckfield from 9.30 until 12.30. The volunteers believe you can get everything you need for your Christmas dinner from the local producers - local game, poultry and meat are all available to order . Also there will be some wreaths on sale. The market is on at the same time as the Christmas Tree Festival in the church, so it's very convenient to do both together.

Cuckfield Evening Flower Club’s: next meeting will be on Friday 2nd December in the Queen’s HaIl at 7.30 for7.45p.m. The demonstrator this month will be Gill Homer with her demonstration entitled “Countdown to Christmas”. Visitors and new members always welcome. Will members please note the change of date to the first Friday of the month in order not to clash with Cuckfield Christmas Tree Festival. For further details please ring Sue Spooner on 01444 831602.
