Comedy night by Cuckfield local fundraiser

A group of local comedians have joined forces and are planning a special night of laughter in support of Pancreatic Cancer UK to help raise funds and awareness of the disease.

The charity comedy night has been organised by local fundraiser Louise Henderson and her comedian friend Anna Shears, who are bringing together a host of talented performers from the nearby area, including Burgess Hill, Brighton and Seaford.

The event promises an evening of entertainment showcasing local comedy talent, with an open bar for guests to enjoy a drink before the show begins.

Alongside providing a platform for emerging comedians, the evening has a personal purpose for Louise as she is fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK ahead of running the London Marathon next April.

Pancreatic cancer remains an underfunded area of cancer research, receiving just three per cent of the UK’s total cancer research budget. It can be difficult to diagnose and treat, making greater awareness of the signs and symptoms crucial in helping people receive an earlier diagnosis.

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, with World Pancreatic Cancer Day falling on 21st November this year, making the event particularly timely.

Louise and Anna hope the evening will not only raise money for research but also encourage more people to learn about the disease and recognise its warning signs.

“This night is a chance for the local community to come together for a fun-packed evening with some of the best up-and-coming local stars, while raising money for a cause close to my heart,” said Louise.

A swinging start to Christmas in Cuckfield

Cuckfield Music Festival is bringing a little festive sparkle to Whitemans Green Sports Club on Sunday 13th December, with a relaxed family Christmas concert from 2pm - 4pm.

The Blue Light Big Band, directed by Mark Travers is a fabulous 17-piece jazz band with musicians drawn from the National Emergency Services. Joined by singer Ali Bagshaw, they will play the jazz and swing classics of the season, in the spirit of Michael Bublé’s Christmas album and the timeless sound of Bing Crosby, including, of course, White Christmas.

Sharing the event is No Strings Attached, a five-piece a cappella vocal group whose close harmonies promise to be a real treat. Between them, the band and singers will deliver an afternoon of seasonal favourites.

Guiding the afternoon will be Katie Derham, familiar to many from BBC Radio 3 and the Proms, who will be hosting the concert.

This is a casual, informal occasion, so settle in, relax and feel free to join in with the odd carol. Full bar and menu available.

Tickets are priced between £5 and £10, making this an affordable way to start the Christmas celebrations with friends, neighbours and family.
