Photos taken of the Cuckoo Fair held in April 2010. A procession came through the High Street, Heathfield, East Sussex. Glad tidings are spread far and wide from Heathfield, by the old woman of Heffle Fair. She carries a basket hanging from her arm and during the day she opens it to let the cuckoo fly out and that tells all of England that winter has finished and spring is at the full and summer is on the way.
