As well as the beacon lighting event we have planned for the evening, to start the day on the Thursday a bugle will be playing, alongside readings and a live stream from within the Heathfield tunnel, commencing at 09.00 hours. There will be lit torches, a local speaker and a bugler all transmitting a beautiful echo from the middle of the tunnel. Unfortunately, members of the public will not actually be able to access the tunnel, due to risk assessments, health & safety etc, however they can stand at the gates by the skatepark to be able to see and hear the action. In the absence of Heathfield having a town crier, the chair of the parish council will read the proclamation at 9am, she will join us in the tunnel to combine the two.
