Trudi Lees, from the hospice, said: “The weather was mostly wonderful, even a short downpour of rain did not stop the crowds coming out and enjoying this wonderful family day out.

“The Country Living marquee was a hive of activity, featuring a wealth of hand made and craft items from across East Sussex. Visitors also had the chance to win a brand new Citreon C1 in the raffle, in aid of St Michael’s Hospice, Macmillan and the Sussex Cancer Trust.

“A huge thanks goes to Jenny Yeo MBE and her excellent committee and to Mr Kit McLean and Mr P Merricks for once again allowing us to hold the show on their land.”
