HAILSHAM is a fantastic place to see some incredible Christmas lights — here’s our guide to the displays you should see this December which are put on to raise vital money for charity.
Hawthylands Christmas Light Display
A Hailsham favourite, the Hawthylands Christmas Light Display is the creation of Karon Lymington Crouch, who transforms her front garden at 46 Hawthylands Road into a stunning spectacle. Visitors can enjoy the lights from 4–9pm each evening and are encouraged to donate to a charity of their choice. In 2023, her display raised £750 each for
St Wilfred’s Hospice and St Michael’s Hospice – St Wilfrid’s Green
Raising money for the Beachy Head Chaplaincy, Tim and Helen will be lighting up their property in St. Wilfrid’s Green in aid of the cause. The lights will be on every day in December from dusk to 10pm. Carol singers will be visiting the home on Wednesday 18th December at 7:30pm.
Lindfield Drive Christmas Lights
For Geoff, the journey through illness has been made easier thanks to the incredible team at Pevensey Ward. To show his gratitude, Geoff has decorated his house with twinkling Christmas lights, bringing festive cheer to the neighbourhood. With your help, funds can be raised to give the staff a special gift as a thank you for their care.
Butts Field Christmas Lights
Kirsty Lloyd, in Butts Field, has become another Hailsham Christmas tradition. This year, Kirsty is raising funds for the Baby Bank, providing essential items for families in need across Hailsham, Polegate, Eastbourne and beyond.
