Five days of family fun at Jubilee Fest
Burgess Hill Town Council is presenting a five-day festival to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Jubilee Fest runs from Wednesday to Sunday, June 1-5, and offers a variety of fun family activities.
Town mayor Anne Eves said: “There’s something for all ages on every day at the Burgess Hill Jubilee Fest. I’m working on my Makaton signing of God Save the Queen for the Burnside event.”
Council leader Robert Eggleston said Jubilee Fest would celebrate the Queen’s reign ‘in fantastic style’.
There will be inflatables at Wowzer Wednesday (June 1, St John’s Park), tile-painting on Jubilee Art Day (June 2, Cherry Tree Centre) and DJ workshops at Skate Fest (June 1). Jubilee Jest (June 3) offers comedy from Angelos Epithemiou and others.
Burnside Community Centre’s Jubilee Celebration is on June 1 with a drama performance, music from the Queen’s reign and a performance of ‘God Save The Queen’ in Makaton.
The Live Music Concert is at St John’s Park on June 2, featuring The Spinettes, Tobias Alexander and Dan Russell. Burgess Hill Bonfire Society will provide a hog roast and light the beacon.
Wheels Through the Years is at Fairfield Recreation Ground on June 3 with vehicles from the Weald Classic Vehicle Club on display.
