:If you aren’t involved: in the trip above, you might be interested in an event being hosted by High Beeches Gardens on the Balcombe Road. Between 11am and 4pm there will be a Gift Fair in aid of Help for Heroes. It will an ideal opportunity to look for some ‘different’ gift ideas for Christmas as along with delicious chocolates, preserves and plants on sale, there will be a wide selection of gifts on sale. There will also be a raffle and a tombola which can also provide different things to pass on as a gift. Entry to the Fair is free but as you are there why not take the opportunity to have a wander around the gardens and enjoy the autumnal colours which are some of the best in the country.
