the beacon

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
