Santa Sunday tradition continues in Hurst High Street

By Alex Watts

Sunday 3rd December sees the return of the ever-popular Santa Sunday to the High Street in Hurstpierpoint. From 12noon - 5pm the road will be closed to traffic and transformed into a winter wonderland to get you truly immersed into the festive spirit!

We are even guaranteeing snow! Our wonderful High Street shops will be opening their doors alongside local artisan crafters and producers so you can get a head start on your Christmas shopping. You will find gift ideas galore, from Christmas trees and wreaths to locally produced gin and chocolate, to scarves, gloves and handmade jewellery. Join us also for live music from local artists and musicians, including the fabulous Straw Dogs. There will be street entertainers strutting their stuff up and down the High Street as well as a special performance from Create Space studios dance group.

And to keep the little ones occupied there will be face painting, balloon modelling, a giant bubble performer and not forgetting the big man himself – Father Christmas. You will also find festive fayre up and down the street including mulled wine, turkey tacos, festive hot dogs, pulled pork baps and boozy hot chocolate from our fabulous hospitality businesses.

This event would not be possible without the support of our local sponsors. So, a big shout out to amongst others Hurst College, The Parish Council, Fabulous Floors, Freemans Funeral Directors, The Co-op and Hurst Community Charity Shop.

Save the date – you won’t want to miss it!
