Hailsham is a market town and civil parish in the district of Wealden, in East Sussex, England. It sits on the upper reaches of the River Cuckmere within the rolling Weald landscape, just north of the South Downs, and carries the imprint of its medieval market‑town origins in its street pattern and local heritage collections.
Today the town combines a traditional weekly market and independent shops with light industry and commuter housing; community life centres around events such as the annual carnival and small festivals, while local history - from agricultural roots and past trades to Victorian and 20th‑century expansion - is kept alive by a community museum and a number of listed buildings.
