At Lawson Commercial we are keen to support local shopping and especially at this time of year when Chambers of Commerce in the area organise special Xmas Shopping Events,

The Late Night Shopping in Uckfield, organised by Uckfield Chamber of Commerce, this year takes place on Friday 7th December and has been promoted in a Shopping Guide distributed widely to local residents.

This promises once again to be a great night for all the family with lots of activities going on in and around the High Street. There is the Uckfield FM stage featuring local schools singing their heart out compared by Uckfield FM’s Peter Suter plus a second stage featuring local acts compared by Uckfield FM’s Mike Mitchell. There will be a hog roast, children’s rides and of course Santa will there in his usual spot in Olives Yard plus stalls and entertainment both in Civic Approach and down at Bridge Cottage.

Whilst making your way up and down the High Street your little ones can also take part in the Hunt The Elf competition for which Lawson Commercial is proudly supplying the prizes. It will be a great night out with something for everyone and deserves the support of local people.

Also not to be missed is a visit to Holy Cross Church to see the fantastic Festival of Christmas Trees which is taking place from Friday 6th through to Sunday 8th December.

Let us also spare a thought for the retailers of Heathfield.  As many will know the shopkeepers in Heathfield have suffered from the recent roadworks with its road closure to through traffic. This is coming to an end shortly and should have finished by the beginning of December. Heathfield Chamber of Commerce have organised a Christmas Family Fun Day for Saturday 8th December.

This is an all day event with many activities going on throughout the town centre so please go and support these traders many of whom have undergone considerably loss of trade over the recent roadworks period.
