Bigger and better

Proms on the Pitch has become a popular climax to the annual Uckfield festival. Now in its third year, the event is set to be bigger and better than ever.

The town’s Uckfield Concert Brass promises an upbeat selection of entertaining music. The band’s programme includes favourites such as Superman, Bohemian Rhapsody, Summertime and Over the Rainbow, along with Prom night favourites Jerusalem, Rule Britannia and Pomp and Circumstance.

The audience can also expect a compelling performance from Jo Appleby, who has toured with Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Cliff Richard and the multi-platinum classical crossover group Amici Forever.

Brighton-based The Flat Pack, which appeared on ITV’s The Voice, will bring a touch of Sinatra magic with its three-part vocal harmony.

And look out for: Cantando Ensemble, a unique Sussex cappella group; local singer and performer Tom Wasels; Uckfield Theatre Guild, which has been performing musicals since 1995; Uckfield Rugby Stagers; and Uckfield Holy Cross Choir.

A fantastic selection of food and drinks will be available to buy, including Harveys beers, wood-fired pizza, barista coffees and local ice creams. Bring your own chairs and rugs. Ample free parking available.
