Remembrance events in Burgess Hill

Poppies are being exchanged for donations around Burgess Hill in preparation for Armistice Day on 11th November and Remembrance Sunday on 13th November. The main Burgess Hill Remembrance event will take place on Sunday 13th November, although there will also be a small parade on Friday 11th November.

On Remembrance Sunday, a parade will start at 10.35am (meet 10.25am) at Cyprus Hall, Cyprus Road. The parade will continue to the war memorial where a two minute silence will follow the laying of wreaths. A Service of Remembrance will then take place at St John's Church and all are welcome. The parade will then march past the bandstand to salute in the town centre.

A smaller parade will take place on Friday 11th November starting from 96 Church Walk, Burgess Hill at 10.50am and finishing at the war memorial where a two minute silence will be observed.

If anyone would like to donate a poppy to the 'people's wreath'. they can do so at the Council's Help Point on Church Walk. This wreath will then be laid on Armistice Day.
