Earlier this month a Post Office opened in the village but many would have missed it.

After Cuckfield Post Office closed back in 2018, there has been nowhere local to perform the basic PO facilities. According to a statement: ‘In order to restore Post Office services to our customers in the area, we are introducing a temporary Hosted Post Office service which will operate from The Queen’s Hall while we continue to search for a permanent solution.’

The Parish Council, the office of which is based in The Queen’s Hall, didn’t receive much notice for the opening of the new counter – but have worked quickly to facilitate the service which begun trading on 1st September.

There are clear floor markings set out and, as with any other shops, customers will be required to wear a face covering inside the Hall.

Opening times are currently listed as 9.30am-1.30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
