Nusrat Ghani said: “The Pumpkin Patch has everything you could possibly need for sewing or knitting and it was a pleasure to visit it in person and congratulate Julie on this fantastic achievement. Small independent businesses are at the heart of our local economy, creating vibrant town centres across Wealden. This award is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate how valued the Pumpkin Patch is by our local communities and I am delighted that Hailsham has yet again been put on the map for its outstanding businesses.”
