KIND HEART FESTIVAL: The Kind Heart Festival is an event taking place in Hailsham on October 6 this year. It is an event to celebrate kindness and compassion. There will also be a Peace Parade in the morning to kick off proceedings in a really upbeat way, creating a real party atmosphere in the town. Talks are currently being held with head2head theatre about having their sensory tent as part of the day’s activities, and there will also be a face painter for children who want to look like their favourite animal. The library will be hosting a storytelling element, with several stories and poems for different age groups happening throughout. Organiser Rebecca Haynes says, ‘The festival has grown tremendously since inception of the idea, but this is due to the enthusiasm and support I have received from the local community. I would not have dared to hope to have so many things going on had I not had such an unequivocally positive response from everyone I’ve spoken to, so I am hoping a lot of people from Hailsham and the surrounding areas will come along.’ More information will be available as the event progresses.
