| The
Beacon Ground is situated just outside of the village of
Hassocks, in the picturesque shadow of the South Downs
and the Jack & Jill Windmills. It is regularly used
to host County and Local Cup fixtures, and
representative games for Mid Sussex teams at schoolboy
and senior levels.
Hassocks moved to The
Beacon in 1992 from local recreation ground Adastra
Park, and since then the ground has undergone extensive
development to reach the standards in facilities it has
today
In 1995, floodlights were
installed thanks to fund raising and the generosity of
the late Matthew Harding, Vice-Chairman of Chelsea FC
and a resident of nearby village Ditchling
Further improvements were
added with the erection of a covered seated stand in
2002 as part of the clubs centenary celebrations, which
is situated on the far side of the pitch
In 2007, the club opened
an impressive new clubhouse, which not only provides
facilites for the footballers, but also a fine venue for
hosting other social events
Plans are afoot to
deliver the facilities further by constructing new
changing facilites and two new pitches on the south
field behind the stand. More information on this project
is available in the Community
section
