Welcome to the fifth Hailsham Arts Festival!

Every year support for the Festival increases, enabling us to extend the range of events on offer. This year's ten day programme features the usual cultural medley of art, music, poetry, drama and art history, including an evening of Greek dance and music and an exhibition of work by several artists from France, three of whom come from Gournay-en-Bray, Hailsham's twin town.

We are especially delighted to introduce an impressive children's event, organised by the newly formed Hailsham Art 4 Kids.  It includes fancy dress, puppetry, a performance by Rapport childrens choir and a very special appearance by St George and the dragon!

We would like to thank all our regular sponsors for their continued support and Hailsham Town Council for their help and encouragement.

The aim of the festival is to highlight the arts in Hailsham.  We do hope you will want to support the events on offer - the festival is for you!
