Hailsham Town Council is pleased to announce that the Deputy Town Mayor, Cllr Colin Mitchell, will be attending the opening of the Hailsham Photographic Society Annual Exhibition at the Charles Hunt Centre on Monday 15th June. The exhibition will run from that date until Saturday 20th June and will be open daily from 10am to 4pm.

The exhibition will showcase a diverse range of photographic works from members of the Hailsham Photographic Society, including landscapes, portraits, architectural images, travel and street photography. The event offers a unique opportunity to experience the remarkable talent and creativity of local photographers, many of whom have gained recognition in regional and national competitions.

As part of the exhibition, visitors will have the chance to engage with the artists, learn more about their creative processes and enjoy the various pieces that capture the beauty and essence of life in Hailsham and beyond.

Entry to the exhibition is free and the event is open to everyone.

Councillor Mitchell is looking forward to attending and encouraging residents to support this excellent community event: “The Hailsham Photographic Society has long been an important part of the town’s cultural life, and I’m very pleased to support this year’s exhibition. The event offers a wonderful chance for both local residents and visitors to experience the creativity, dedication and talent of photographers from our community. I would encourage everyone to make time to attend and enjoy the impressive collection of work on display.”

Hailsham Town Council is pleased to continue supporting community arts events such as this exhibition. Councillor Mitchell commented: “Creative arts play a vital role in bringing people together and enriching community life in Hailsham. The Photographic Society provides a valuable platform for local talent to flourish, and it’s fantastic to see photographers sharing their work and enthusiasm with the wider public. I hope many people will take the opportunity to visit the exhibition and celebrate the creativity within our town.”
