Everyone is welcome to Adastra Park to join in the merriment and festivities of Hassocks May Day on bank holiday Monday 2nd May from 12noon-4pm.

Our infamous Dog Show is back! Entry will be £2 per class per dog. Just turn up on the day to enter. We are delighted to welcome the Maypole Dancers from Hassocks Infants School, led by Mrs Brewer, Acting Deputy Head, to perform at the Maypole. Burgess Hill Marching Youth will be playing to open our event.

Come and enjoy in tea and cake at the community café in The Pavilion run and raising money for PearlPower. Donations of cakes greatly appreciated too!

We look forward to music from the crew of Burgess Hill Community Radio to keep us entertained. Enjoy the produce of the BBQ and a festival of beer hosted by Keymer and Hassocks Sport and Social Club (KHSSC). And all that before we get to the numerous community and charity stalls offering a plethora of activities and other delights to interest you and help them to raise funds for their many great causes.

A big thanks to Hassocks Parish Council and Keymer and Hassocks Sports and Social Club for supporting Hassocks May Day. If you are a community group or charity and would like a stall please contact michellebinks5@outlook.com. I look forward to seeing you there!
