Coronavirus COVID-19

Burgess Hill Horticultural Society is concerned about the impact of the Coronavirus COVID-19 on its Members, Speakers, Judges and Visitors at its Events.

The Committee has taken advice regarding the Coronavirus outbreak and feel they have no choice but to call a temporary halt to our activities. They are also mindful that our speakers, judges and visitors may wish to self-isolate themselves. Additionally, since the Government ordered a ‘lock-down’, the Cyprus Hall has been closed. Where possible, talks and outings will be postponed and re-scheduled to a suitable future date rather than be cancelled. This is not possible for the Shows.

It has been decided to cancel or postpone all physical Open Meetings, Outings and Shows.

Look out for our series of Online ZOOM Talks and Virtual Shows
