Hailsham & District Twinning Association

Hailsham & district Twinning Association

A well established Twinning Association for Hailsham area and Gournay en Bray, France (situated 1 hr from Dieppe and only 2 hrs from Calais). The original Twinning Charter was signed in Hailsham in October 2000 and was officially renewed in October 2011. We are self funding and raise our funds through our many social events. Every year we arrange 3 or 4 trips  for large or small groups to visit our twinned town in France. These trips include sightseeing, carnivals, music festivals, choral events, sporting events and other events. In Hailsham we have a very active social side to our group. We hold monthly social events which include treasure hunts, cream teas, quizzes, beetle drives, musical events and cycling groups. We have our own French Language groups – beginners, conversation and intermediate (all reasonably priced).

Our members have the opportunity to host. Many long lasting friendships have been made from hosting on both sides of the Channel. Of course, members who are unable to host are welcome too.

It costs only £10 per person per year and £40 for groups.

Environment Hailsham

Environment Hailsham

Environment Hailsham is a small group of volunteers who provide and maintain all the floral displays around the Market Town of Hailsham in East Sussex.   It is registered as a charity, No: 1156667.

These displays include the War Memorial; railing planters by South Road Bridge; Neptune and Tesco crossings; Market Square and all the hanging baskets.  In addition, the volunteers also maintain the tranquil Dennis King Garden, the Library Rose Garden and sponsored displays in Battle Road.

The Volunteers use two poly tunnels off Grovelands Road and this is where all the action takes place!  Here, hundreds of seeds are sown in the Spring and carefully looked after until planting time.  During the summer much work is carried out by the volunteers to keep the flower displays looking bright and cheerful, including a weekly watering regime.

Environment Hailsham’s aim is to provide the town with a welcoming colour of floral displays for the benefit and enjoyment of the whole community and visitors.
