Show gears up for 60th anniversary

This 60th anniversary show will be celebrating all that's local.

The new look Country Ways area - which had a facelift for the 2006 Show - will once more have a selection of local craftsmen exhibiting their traditional skills including a wheelwright, trug making, bee keeping and spinning.

As well people will be given the chance to take part in some of these activities and given hands-on experience of exactly how difficult it is, for example, to turn a pot.

In line with the local theme Show organisers have increased the profile of the Farmers' Market.

Ticket prices at the gate cost 10 for adults, 3 for children, 22 for a family and 8 for OAPs.

Advance tickets at special rates are available from Melina Joy Opticians, High Street, Heathfield; The Burwash Newsagents or
