Saturday, October 19: Big Draw event. Autumnal art sessions at Tilgate Nature Centre midday to 4pm

Monday, October 21: Pink Zumba party at The Charis Centre from 6:45pm to 8:15pm

Saturday, November 2: Halloween party and camp fear in East Grinstead. There will be live music, fancy dress competitions and people will try to survive a night camping in a field with people terrorising them in horror costumes throughout the night

Tuesday, November 6: Disco and club night for disabled children and young people at The Hawth Studio 6.30-9.30pm

Sunday, November 17: Sponsored toddler walk in Tilgate Park. 11am
