Light up Hassocks 2025 will be on 5th December
By The Light Up Hassocks Elves
Come and enjoy this wonderful community event on Friday 5th December 2025 between 4pm and 8pm. The evening will host a children’s parade, food court, late-night shopping, funfair, lots of live music, and local community groups. We can also announce that there will be an absolute sackload of Christmas magic!
To make sure all this festive fun happens safely we will have a road closure in effect 4pm-8pm.
Keymer Road will be closed from Woodsland Road to the entrance of the car park behind The Sussex Grocer. Keymer Road will then be closed from the western side of the mini roundabout by Station Approach East to Clerks Acre for the parade, from approximately 4.15pm to 5.15pm.
The road closure will affect buses and a diversion will be in place. Access will be maintained for emergency vehicles and medical emergencies, but other traffic will be asked to wait or diverted. After a record-breaking number of requests to be allowed through the closure in 2023, we feel obligated to remind people to please not underestimate how dangerous and difficult it is to escort a car through crowds of people in a dark and noisy environment.
May we suggest that if your arrival home is during the road closure periods that you use the Dale Avenue car parks or the car park on the western side of Hassocks Station.
Please advise any likely visitors or carers well in advance so that they can plan their access and parking in plenty of time.
