Events in Haywards Heath From 28th September – 4th October 2026

If you're looking for things to do in Haywards Heath this week, some cultural activities are happening as autumn begins. This time of year is a great chance to enjoy outdoor cinema. Expect a series of special screenings, each offering a different way to see films under the sky during longer evenings. Why not combine a film with a trip on the Bluebell Railway, easily reached from Haywards Heath Railway Station, for a perfect autumn day? Your main options for entertainment are these atmospheric outdoor showings. You’ll be able to watch films chosen to suit the cooler nights, leading into the Halloween season. These events offer a unique cultural experience, letting you enjoy storytelling in a setting away from a traditional cinema. The autumn air might enhance the experience, and Handcross Gardens, though potentially busy, provide a pleasant walk beforehand. The week’s programme focuses solely on these unique film events. Each screening creates a relaxed atmosphere, inviting you to enjoy familiar films in an unusual location. It’s a good way to spend an evening, perhaps with a drink, watching stories unfold outdoors. These experiences remind you of the changing season, combining comfort with adventure. Haywards Heath’s railway connections also apply to leisure, so travelling by train to the event could be useful, reducing congestion on the A272 Road. The town’s history as a railway hub adds to the appeal of an evening’s entertainment. Check the listings below for times and venues. You might also find independent shops and cafes nearby, offering pre-screening refreshments.
