Broadway Live 2026
St Peter and St James Hospice are proud to present a brand-new fundraising event, ‘Broadway LIVE 2026!’ The event will be held on Sunday 24th May 11am-9pm on The Broadway in Haywards Heath.
With the blessing of and following in the footsteps of Tim French MBE’s ‘Broadway Sound’, the event has been reinvented, and will see The Broadway closed to traffic, while businesses, cafés, bars and restaurants remain open to join in all the fun and proudly support St Peter and St James Hospice.
With two stages, one at each end of the road, there will be numerous exciting music acts, bands and performers, providing back-to-back entertainment all day. The event is proud to showcase young local talent performing alongside a variety of well-established performers.
It’s a whole day for all the family to enjoy, packed with kid’s activities and entertainment. MORE Radio’s very own Jack The Lad is gearing up and will be there 12-2pm to host and entertain everyone! There will be stalls, food and drink and lots of fundraising activities and kids’ activities to join in with.
Come along to Broadway LIVE and see what all the hype is about as this event returns for 2026 for you to enjoy.
