Events

Forest Row is a village with a lot going on already but Frow Friends noticed that most of the fun stuff happens after dark when a lot of people don’t want to go out, especially those who live on their own or have mobility concerns. A Frow Friends survey of Forest Row’s older residents confirmed there is definitely an appetite for an afternoon event which is still as risqué as any similar evening event. This is strictly adults only!

So, with the help of a trusty band of volunteers and some start-up funding from Gatwick Airport Community Trust and the Co-op Community Fund, the first-of-its-kind EarlyBird Cabaret launched at the Forest Row Village Hall in March 2024.

We are very excited to announce that we have been given a grant from the National Lottery to enable us to put on further cabarets in 2026 and 2027. The grant allows us to put on four more cabarets over the next two years. We are thrilled and would like to send a big thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting FRow Friends. The next cabaret will be on Thursday 21st May 2026!

We would welcome offers of home-made cakes for the event or volunteers to help serve refreshments, so do contact frowfriends@gmail.com if you can help.
