Entertainment

Clair Hall

This is the main venue for Haywards Heath entertainment. There are a variety of entertainments throughout the year.  These include the annual pantomime at Christmas, bands, singers, comedians and regular film shows.

The hall is also the venue for many types of events ranging from concerts, book fairs, computer fairs, cat shows to golf exhibitions. Situated just up from the Haywards Heath station, it is a most enjoyable venue as its small size means that a great evening may be had by one and all.

Cinema

Popular films are regularly shown at Clair Hall but the nearest cinema is in Burgess Hill. The new UGC in Crawley is about a dozen miles away and provides a luxurious surrounding in which to view the latest releases.

For the more adventurous, Brighton, only 15 miles away, has a wide variety of cinemas to chose from.

Theatre

Haywards Heath has no theatre of its own although Clair Hall regularly hosts local amateur dramatic productions of a high standard. The nearest theatre is The Hawth in Crawley, where many productions are staged, including London runs.  Brighton has pre-London runs together with many other original productions.

There are also theatres in East Grinstead and Burgess Hill.

Scaynes Hill, just to the east of Haywards Heath, is now home to a new centre which is a theatre, indoor sports centre and venue for all local activities.

Eating Out is the main form of entertainment in Haywards Heath and there is wide variety of well patronised establishments.
