Welcome to Lindfield Life’s Lindfield Village Day event page. Here you will find our most recent information for our wonderful community day.

Lindfield Village Day is a celebration for the community and a fundraiser for the King Edward Hall.

2026’s Lindfield Village Day will be held on 30th May.

Park & Ride for Lindfield Village Day

Lindfield Village Day is coming up, on Saturday 30th May.

Following feedback from visitors last year, and to make parking at Lindfield Village Day as easy and stress free as possible, the organisers are delighted to introduce something new for this year!

Event co-chair Katherine Alcock said: “A big thank you to our friends and sponsors Great Walstead School, who are offering a free Park and Ride service for Lindfield Village Day. We know parking on the day can be a problem, and we are extremely grateful to the school for proactively making an alternative available this year.”

Visitors to the big day can simply park at Great Walstead School on East Mascalls Lane (RH16 2QL) and enjoy a short, comfortable ride straight to Lindfield Common.

The friendly team at Great Walstead School will direct you to your parking space before driving you to the Common in one of their cheerful, bright pink buses. There will be plenty of regular shuttles doing the short trip.

At the end of the day, they’ll also make sure you’re safely returned to your car. Park and Ride will be available from 11.30am–5pm on Saturday 30th May; available for all passengers aged 3 and over; children must be accompanied by an adult. And, please note: car seats are not provided.

Please note, there is no public parking on Lindfield Common, except for disabled badge holders. For further information about Lindfield Village Day 2026, see www.kingedwardhall.org.uk/village-day

Success in 2025!

By David Tingley, co-chair
In case it passed you by, a small team of volunteers orchestrated one of Lindfield’s largest community events last month, ably assisted by an army of around 50 helpers on the day. Although the visitor numbers are anything but concrete, we estimate that up to around 10,000 people came to enjoy Lindfield Village Day – which included the procession down the High Street, live music on the RTFJ Stage, the Leonardslee Food & Drink Quarter, the competition tent, kids' dog show, arena performances and, of course, over 130 stalls spread out around the Common.
This huge event is a tremendous feat in organisation, put on by the team led by myself and Katherine Alcock – so we’d like to say a massive thank you to all of them for making it happen. Profits from the day go to Lindfield’s King Edward Hall – and will be announced in due course. In the meantime, enjoy this reminder of the day…
