Uckfield is a historic market town with a strong sense of community.
Its continued growth over the last 60 years supports an excellent
range of shops and multi cultural restaurants to suit every taste
and the Town’s thriving business parks have a proven track
record in attracting local, national and international employers.
Our schools continue to perform at a high level academically as
well as in the sporting arena, which is evident from the many trophies
our local teams and individuals win. It remains a commitment of
the Town Council to provide sporting and leisure facilities for
many sports and activities. We also provide a number of green open
areas and woodlands to relax in.
There are regular events, including the Festival, Carnival and Bonfire
procession, as well as monthly farmers markets. Our provision of
regular entertainment at the Civic Centre, together with the latest
films at our local cinema ensure that there is something for everyone
to enjoy throughout the year.
The Civic Centre, the home of the Town Council and Luxfords Restaurant,
with the adjacent ‘Hub’ and youth facility, are situated
just off the High Street, with parking close by in Luxfords Field
car park. These facilities offer ideal accommodation for meetings,
conferences, concerts, parties and wedding receptions, with licensed
restaurant facilities, a full in-house catering service, audio-visual
equipment and, as you would expect, easy access, hearing loop and
other facilities for people with disabilities.
The Town Council provides support in many ways to the many charitable
and voluntary groups in the Town to achieve their goals in helping
others, including the provision of grants and facilities. I hope
you will also help and support them.
This guide has been updated and expanded and now includes information
about services and facilities provided by the Town Council, in addition
to all the local information for residents and visitors to the Town.
I hope this guide helps you enjoy all that our Town has to offer.
Cllr. Len Ashby
Town Mayor
