By Hassocks Parish Council

We are very pleased to announce that, following the closure of the local branch of the British Royal Legion, Hassocks Parish Council has been busy arranging a Remembrance Day Parade for 2025. This will take place in the afternoon of Sunday 9th November and everyone is welcome to attend.

We will meet in the car park area outside the Parish Council offices in Adastra Park between 1.30-1.45pm and the parade will leave at 2pm, walking up the Keymer Road to St Cosmas & St Damian Church.

We will have Burgess Hill Youth marching band leading the way, followed by our local Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. There will be a short ceremony at the church memorial and laying of the wreaths. The Greyhound Pub opposite the church have very kindly offered to provide refreshments.

There will be road closures on the day, details of which will be provided at a later date.

We will need volunteers to supervise the closures, so if anyone is able to help, please can you email helen.valler@hassocks-pc.gov.uk. We hope you will join us on the day and help make this a true community event.
