Breaking News: It has just been announced that Ditchling’s popular 60s music evening will return this autumn due to popular demand. The organisers received so many requests to re-instate this event, after not running it in 2016, that it was decided to hold another disco on Saturday 21 October this year. As before, former radio DJ Tony the Legend will host an evening of 60s favourites and all proceeds will go to charity. Tickets will be available in the summer, meanwhile 60s music fans may want to save the date. Further information 01273 845361.
