Haywards Heath, Mid Sussex
Haywards Heath is one of my most regular areas. It has that lovely mix of town and village: busy birthday parties in the centre, then ten minutes later I'm on Lindfield Common or tucked away in a Cuckfield garden.
What I love most is the countryside on the doorstep. Driving in past the fields towards Borde Hill or out to the showground at Ardingly always feels like the start of a good day.
“Ten minutes from a town-centre party to a village green. That's Haywards Heath for me.”

Mid Sussex mums and dads on Kat
Verified on Add to Event · ★★★★★“Kat was amazing at our party - painting a huge number of adult and children’s faces with vibrant colours and designs - often taking cues from outfits to create designs that colour matched. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. We were all so reluctant to wash them off at the end of the day!!”
Verified on Add to Event · ★★★★★“Kat arrived early and had loads of cool designs for the kids. She was very patient with the kids. All the kids were very happy with the face paint. Some kids even went for seconds as they loved all the designs. I will definitely recommend her for your event. You won’t regret it.”
