Hailsham

Hailsham is a lively and historic market town mentioned in the Domesday Book and granted a Market Charter by Henry III in 1252. Its historic core around St Marys Church and Market Square provides a contrast to the busy high street with its wide variety of local and national shops, cafes and restaurants.

A street market is held in the town centre every other Friday from 9am to 1pm, and a traditional farmers market is held on the second Saturday of each month from 9am to 12.30pm.

Hailsham is on a direct bus route connecting visitors to Eastbourne which is approximately fifteen minutes away. It is also close to the mainline railway station at Polegate on the Southern line connecting to London and to the resorts of Eastbourne and Brighton. The historic town of Pevensey, which was the landing place for William The Conqueror, and its adjoining resort of Pevensey Bay are nearby and can also be visited by rail.

The town also enjoys the benefit of its own unique fully restored Hailsham Pavilion Cinema Theatre and Live Music Venue. Other popular attractions include the Observatory Science Centre and Knockhatch Adventure Park.
