It’s the 28th year of The East Grinstead Bus Running Day – a lot of dun and happening all day today (Sunday 21st April).
The event brings together over 25 classic buses representing types that used to operate in and around East Grinstead. Destinations reached include Turners Hill, Crawley Down, Lingfield, Godstone, Oxted and Edenbridge. There are also tours up to the Ashdown Forest and of the town.
St. George’s day is officially this coming Tuesday 23rd April.
In the 15th century St. George’s day was a major feast and national holiday in England on a par with Christmas! The tradition of celebration faded by the end of the 18th century after the union of England and Scotland.
Nevertheless, St. George’s day was celebrated in style today. Click below to hear more from the High Street, Horley and Queen Square, Crawley.

We visited St Catherine’s Hospice new facility at Pease Pottage and spoke with their incredible team. The interviews cover:
The background of St Catherine’s Hospice and their new facility.
Hearing memorable stories and how the team make an incredible difference to the patients in their care – patients in the hospice AND those receiving care at home.
Understanding the wide range of services the hospice provides and how this has changed over time as medical conditions have shifted.
We also hear from one of the 800 volunteers and how the community can support St Catherine’s Hospice in donating funds, volunteering time, joining one of the upcoming events (The Midnight Walk) or simply dropping in a bunch of flowers for the public areas – all massively appreciated.
