It is with extreme sadness that we report the passing of Neil Kempson yesterday.
Neil was a much loved member of the Hadlow Down community and will be sadly missed by all. His association with the New Inn, St. Mark’s School, the Village Fayres and everything else ‘Hadlow Down’ made him a ‘special’ villager. We are sure that the thoughts of everyone who knew Neil will be with Di and all his family

A look back at the Village Fayre 2019
As the Covid 19 pandemic has scuppered our plans for village Summer Celebrations,
it seemed now would be the perfect time to look back on our historic 2019 Village Fayre.
You will find the story of the day and a look back at the 1919 event that inspired us over on the Village Fayre page here
VE Day 75
I am afraid that the terrible Coronavirus emergency and consequent Government guidance means that we are unable to come together today. Our plans, here in the village, for VE Day 75 community celebrations due to take place on the bank holiday weekend of 8th – 10th May are on ice. It is right and proper that people should be kept safe and healthy.
However, you could take part in celebrations safely from home. I am sure that many of you are planning to do just that. Please share your celebrations with us,
Show us how you’re celebrating! Share your stay at home party photos using the hashtags
#veday75 #hadlowdown
If you are happy to send them to us we will publish them here on the Village Fayre Page on Sunday 10th May.
With my very best wishes,
Sarah Prall, Chair Hadlow Down Village Fayre Committee
Please send your photos, drawings, poems to sarahprall@btinternet.com by Midnight Saturday 9th May.
