New opening hours for Hailsham toilets

Hailsham Town Council wishes to inform residents and visitors that, from 1st October, the opening hours for the Vicarage Field public toilet facility will change.

The new hours will be, Monday to Saturday 8am to 4pm and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.

The council continues to provide fully accessible, modern, and free-to-use facilities, following the reopening of the building after repairs and replacement doors were installed to address recent vandalism and damage. 

The facility, first opened in March 2024 and funded through Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) contributions, represents a major investment in the town centre. The building includes:

Two modular public conveniences, open to all users

 A Changing Places facility designed for people with multiple or complex disabilities, featuring an electronic hoist, rise-and-fall changing table, shower, toilet, and accessible wash basin (RADAR key required)

The toilets have already received praise from residents for their cleanliness, accessibility and modern design. One local resident said: "The new facilities are spotless, spacious, warm and inviting. I’ve never seen such clean and spacious public toilets on my travels – a massive well done and thank you. The Council should be proud of this excellent facility, which is a real investment in Hailsham
