They sell a delightful seasonal cornucopia of lovingly homemade produce including Christmas cakes, puddings, crumbles, Victoria sponge cakes, fruit breads, dinner rolls, tea bread, fairy cakes, jams, marmalades, chutneys, mincemeat, and so on.
All these items are locally produced by stall holders who hold hygiene certificates, and who have to make and package their goods to exacting standards. Everything is freshly made the day before or even on the day, so you can freeze it at home.
You can place orders for almost anything you want - sausage rolls, handmade chocolates, elaborately decorated celebration cakes, whatever - knowing that it will be made locally, from scratch and from quality ingredients, with no fillers, chemicals or preservatives.
This hidden gem of Sussex currently has a loyal following of the older generation, but young mothers and others inspired by Jamie Oliver's love of good food are starting to realise what a fantastic find this is.
As well as all the delicious cakes and savouries, there is a huge variety of craft work - children's knitwear, handmade cards and calendars, jewellery and home grown seasonal fruits, plants and hanging baskets. You never know what will appear from one week to the next, which keeps you coming back for more !
Entry is free, the hall is wheelchair and pushchair accessible, there are refreshments on offer and car parking is very easy since the hall is on the car park. You can park for about 40p for 20 minutes.
