The Kit Wilson Trust
Group activities

The purpose of the Trust is to promote the welfare of animals - To Rescue abandoned, unwanted, ill-treated and neglected animals - To care for these animals and provide them with any necessary veterinary attention until they can be re-homed. From a modest beginning the Trust has grown, and in 1986 set up its own Animal Rescue Centre at Hadlow Down, near Uckfield, in East Sussex. In addition to the animal rescue and re-homing work, the Trust has become increasingly involved in wildlife rehabilitation, and operates a wildlife emergency help line. Over the years, the Rescue Centre has also become a permanent home to many animals which it is not possible or desirable to re-home: these include horses, donkeys, cats, goats, birds and small rodents.

The New Inn

John Booth - The Drinking Man's Guide to Sussex & Kent 1974 "Let us have no polite hesitations about this statement, no careful conditional reservations, let the claim be made loud and boldly - The New Inn at Hadlow Down in Sussex is the best pub in the county and probably in England".
The Village Pub Activities include some occasional drinking of ale!! And occasional traditional events.
In the mid-1880's a fire destroyed the old New Inn in 'suspicious circumstances'. It was started just as the bailiffs were taking away anything saleable. The rebuilding design was undertaken in 1885 by Denman of Brighton. Throughout the latter half of the 20th. century the pub earned itself a reputation which could be described either as 'enviable' or 'non-enviable' depending on what the customer's idea of a village pub should be! The interior has a long public bar at the front and a small public room behind.
'This is a rare example of a rural public house and hotel which retains its planform and fittings virtually intact'.

The Tap Dance Group
|
 |
|
Hadlow Down Tap Dancing Group
Group activities
|
Our tap dance group started around 8 years ago in the village hall. Our teacher Jo Dummer founded the group after much interest from those who performed in the Hadlow Down Variety Club.
For some, we relived our childhood, remembering some of the tap steps, for others it was all very new!
Over the years we have had many members join of all ages. We have all enjoyed and learnt a variety of tap routines for fun and performed in the Hadlow Down Variety Club shows on a number of occasions.
It’s a group that believes in having fun while learning. ‘Laughter is the best medicine’, so they say, and there is always plenty of that during our lessons!
We meet Wednesday evening’s, in the hall from 6.30pm for an hour, during the term time.
So if you are looking for something new to learn, then we would love to hear from you.
