August Bank Holiday Bloc Party in Cuckfield

Next month the Rose and Crown will host its Summer Bloc Party. 

It’s the third year running for James Clark and his team who have put together the special event, but this year they’re hoping to change things up a little. 

“The last couple years have been tough for everyone and it’s lovely when the whole community comes together and has a bit of fun. We’ve had a pretty wet July so what we’d all like to see is the sun shining. That always helps to create a better atmosphere so we’re keeping our fingers crossed for good weather.” 

The party will see the return of the outside Horsebox bar serving drinks and new Head Chef, Anthony Martin will be grilling up a fantastic BBQ menu. There will also be a number of other food stalls offering a varied range of sweet and savoury options to fuel the hungry crowds and there will games for the family to play in the courtyard. 

And let’s not forget the live music. This year there has been a slight change to the lineup with the return of some old favourites together with number of new performers taking to the stage. 

Free Admission. No Reservations. All ages are welcome. 

Gates open on Monday 28th August 2023 at 12pm

Summer holidays at Holy Trinity Cuckfield

The summer holidays are nearly here and, as usual, we are busy planning events for children and their families during this time. For the whole of the holidays there will be a trail around the churchyard, exploring different memorials. You will be particularly looking for different symbols that are the clues to a hidden message.

The beginning of the holidays will see the return of the Theatre Club. Meeting on the mornings of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 24th – 26th July and Thursday afternoon, 27th July, we will create and perform our very own musical production ‘In My Shoes’.

On Sunday 6th August there will be a Family Praise at 11.15am to which all our families are invited.

Later in August, on Saturday 22nd, we will be holding another family sports day at Holy Trinity School, which promises to be another fun filled afternoon. There is more information on the posters. Do come and join the fun.
