News from Cuckfield Parish Council - Feb 24

We kickstarted the new year hosting the hilarious take on the gothic Frankenstein play by Rain or Shine at the Queen’s Hall. We launched the Community Art Display open to local amateur and novice artists who wish to exhibit their work in a non-competitive and relaxed free space. The Artwork is displayed in the lobby of the Queen’s Hall and is changed every month with a different theme. Feel free to pop into the Queen’s Hall during our opening hours Monday to Friday 10am and 3pm.
The Cuckfield photo competition is also back! We are encouraging the residents of Cuckfield to send in their pictures, 12 of which will be shortlisted to feature in the 2025 Cuckfield Calendar. If you wish to participate, please send in your pictures to the Parish Office to noemi.ripert@cuckfield.gov.uk - pictures must be of Cuckfield in JPG format and of a good enough resolution for printing.



To read the full newsletter please pick up a copy of February’s Cuckfield Life today and turn to page 34, or click the images provided to enlarge them.

Cuckfield opens its own Little Free Larder and Library for the community

A community larder has opened in Cuckfield to help support local residents and families who might be struggling with the rise in food costs. Helen Holman, who lives in the village, is the brains behind the kind venture: “My aim is to help everyone in the community who might need a little bit of help. Items in the larder have been donated by local people and the larder is there to support the residents who live here so they can come along and take what they need and leave what they can.
”The larder accepts all non-perishable items and even items that might have been partially used, because it might just be what someone is looking for and one less thing that is not wasted that day. People can also put books in and take them out if they see something worth reading and return it at a later date.”

Helen is also hoping that local businesses might consider getting involved and donating any items that they would otherwise throw away at the end of the day and try to limit waste where possible.

If you would like to find out how you can get involved or if you or your family are in need of a little help please search for the Facebook page or you can email Helen direct: littlefreelarderandlibrary@gmail.com.

Find the larder in the front garden of 10 Brainsmead, Cuckfield, RH17 5EY.
