About

Uckfield Chamber of Commerce are proud to be leading this year’s Late Night Shopping, held on the first Friday of December.

The usual favourites will be there, such as Santa in Olive’s Yard (courtesy of Uckfield Lions), and be sure to say hello to Frozen characters, Elsa and Olaf walking the High Street! (Courtesy of French’s Fancy Dress).

Bridge Cottage will be hosting an array of activities as well as the Civic Centre, with both Universal Dance and Happy Me Dance performing in the space immediately outside. Walk back in time to that very first Christmas, thanks to both Kings Church and the Baptist Church who are once again, presenting to Uckfield, ‘The Nativity’, along with the Fairtrade stall open at Cornerstone Church. 

Follow the magical Art & Crafts Trail with four locations this year, at estate agents Freeman Forman and Oakfield Property, plus Premier Travel agency and Specsavers! They will be hosting local artists presenting their original art & craft, creating a lovely Christmas shopping experience. (Thanks to Helen Preston of Victoria Pavilion Arts for organising the Art Trail).

Added to the entertainment will be plenty of the favourite usual favourite food and drink stalls, including a Hog Roast at the top of the town at Bishops the Butchers. The other end of town will see the return of East Sussex Fire & Rescue, complete with a Fire Engine!

The ‘Hunt the Elf’ competition will be back across various shops up and down the High Street, and the central stage, outside of Hartfields, will host both school choirs with adult choirs and musicians too, performing all the festive favourites.

Enjoy a fabulous and festive occasion to kick start the Christmas season in Uckfield. See you there!

Both the Civic Centre and Cornerstone Church will offer toilets for public use, although please have respect for cafes/ restaurants and only use their facilities as a customer or unless they’ve said otherwise.
