Lindfield Arts Festival Community Orchard, sponsored by Masters and Sons

An exciting celebration of the rich diversity of our village. All of our local groups and organisations are invited to decorate a tree to represent themselves and the contribution they make to our community.

The trees will be exhibited together at the festival, a fun and quirky way to find out more about the huge range of activities on offer in Lindfield.

If your organisation would like a tree to decorate please do get in touch via the festival website, everyone is welcome!

“To be without trees would, in the most literal way, to be without our roots.”

How good are you at face painting

Mar 29, 2018 // by Lynn Tulip // Leave a Comment

As the festival plans proceed nicely, and the programme is filling up we realise we don’t have a face painter for the Festival this year. Over the last few years, face painting has been a very popular item with visiting families with queues building up during the day.

If you or anyone you know is interested in face painting, please ask them to fill in the Special Events application on the Be Involved page. Thank you.

We don’t want to disappoint our children.
