The Heart of Hailsham
Our Hailsham networking meeting on Tuesday, 21 January, 2025, was filled with insightful discussions and a warm atmosphere, thanks to the wonderful hospitality of Richard Hollands and the team at Abbots Wood Manor.
Located in the heart of Hailsham, Abbots Wood Manor continues to be the perfect setting for our events, offering beautiful surroundings, free parking, and delicious complimentary drinks and pastries.
