Crowds turn out for Hailsham's first ever spring market

Shoppers attended Hailsham's first ever Spring Market in the town centre on Saturday March 11, an event organised by Hailsham Town Council with the support of its project partners.

Vicarage Field was home to a range of stalls selling locally sourced food, homemade and personalised gifts, children's clothing, handmade jewellery, confectionery, homeware and more, plus there was a candy floss stall to tempt visitors (courtesy of Hailsham Lions Club), information stalls from Christchurch and Garden Guardians, and a chocolate tombola provided by Hailsham Young Farmers' Club.

The spring market coincided with the Streets of Hailsham event, which also took place in Vicarage Field and Hailsham High Street. Streets of Hailsham, which came about via Government funding secured by Wealden District Council, featured street entertainment from Show Globe's 'sea sphere' (gliding during its performances to interact with the public), shopping trolley dance display team Granny Turismo and world-famous street theatre puppet act Hodman & Sally, courtesy of The Flying Buttresses.
