In the past, we have had exceptionally hot or wet weather and we’re conscious of the affect this has on our processioners. With this in mind, we have an extreme weather plan in place.

If it is very hot or very wet we will shorten the route. We will turn left out of Marchants Road and come straight up Cuckfield Road to the roundabout and along the High Street. This will cut out the middle of Cuckfield Road and Western Road and coming past the Church etc., but we have to think in particular about all those who walk the route and not having them too exposed to the extreme weather - we hope you understand.

We will take the decision about this on the Friday late afternoon and publicise it as much as possible. All procession participants will be contacted and told at this time. The procession will leave later as it will not take as long to get to the arena.

Many thanks for your co-operation and understanding. We hope you enjoy watching all the amazing walking and motorised floats!

No, they are completely separate. St Lawrence is the patron saint of Hurstpierpoint, and the St Lawrence Fair was set up to celebrate him - it has been running for over 700 years and held many different names during that time (see fair history). Whilst the St Lawrence Fair and the St Lawrence C of E Primary School bear the same name, it is in honour of the village patron saint - they are separate organisations.
