Throughout the week there wereFestival Club nights at the Luxford Lounge and an Open Mike at the Uckfield Club, a theatrical piece at the Pamphilon Theatre at the Community College, dancing in the Weald Hall. A linked Northern Soul Theme where a theatre production featuring Northern Soul and its grip on the unsuspecting amongst us and then Northern Soul Night got into full swing by none other than Uckfield’s expert on Northern Soul – Adrian Corbin. at the Cinque Ports Club.

There was a classical music club happening at various times on several days, storytelling for all ages, walks around the town and over the forest and exhibitions by the various clubs around the local area.

And so to the last weekend, with the Churches of Uckfield Fun Day on Luxford Field cancelled due to extreamlly bad weather,It was on to the all star line up for one of the most favourite events of them all, the Last Night of the Proms with Uckfield Concert Brass conducted by Nick Morris.world class soprano Jo Appleby and the colourful award winning women's close harmony group Surrey Harmony in a concert that was all that Uckfield Festival-goers have come to expect of this amazing annual end of Festival event.

What a week!!! the programme was put together by a small team of devoted local people, the Uckfield Festival now attracts thousands.
