UCB joined Uckfield’s bonfire society and rugby club to create a spectacular end to the town’s summer arts festival.

The picnic and fireworks prom, now in its second year, brought together the best of local brass playing, singing and dance.

The band’s programme included hits made famous by Elvis, Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra and Mick Jagger.

Acclaimed soprano, Jo Appleby, led the singing in the Last Night of the Prom numbers.

Deb’s Dancers again showcased stunning song and dance performances. Holy Cross Church junior choir, making its debut at the event, also wowed the audience.
