The Forest Row Festive Trail and Raffle starts on Thursday 19 November 2026, inviting visitors to explore participating independent shops around Forest Row while collecting stamps for a prize draw. The trail runs into early December, providing a way to support local businesses and a village charity.
How the Festive Trail works
Buy a £3.50 trail card from Java & Jazz, Seasons Forest Kitchen or Second Life. Visit the participating shops to collect the required stamps, then return the completed card to Seasons Wholefoods by 3 December 2026. Prizes include a hamper advertised at £200 plus runner-up gifts. Proceeds support the Acorn Children’s Clinic at The Anderida.
Dates, collection points and entry
The trail launches on 19 November and entries close on 3 December 2026. It is self-guided rather than a staffed all-day event; take part during individual shops’ opening hours. The map marker identifies Java & Jazz as one of the card collection points, not the whole route. See the local Forest Row events guide for details and check participating shops for current opening hours.
Things To Do
Discover the shops and cafés in Forest Row and visit Java & Jazz while collecting your card. For a longer daytime trip, nearby Ashdown Forest has walking routes through woodland and heathland.
