Supporting the event for a fifth year
Lightning Fibre continues its support of the Heathfield Agricultural Show as a returning sponsor, reflecting our ongoing commitment to local events across East Sussex.
As part of this, our installation team will setup a temporary full fibre broadband network across the showground - laying over 4km of fibre cables across the fields! This will support traders with card payments, assist event operations and provide free WiFi access for all visitors throughout the day.
Paul Thornton, Network Director at Lightning Fibre, said:
“We have been installing connectivity at the showground since 2023 and it is great to be back again this year. Reliable broadband helps the event run smoothly and supports everyone involved, from stall holders and performers to a huge number of visitors.”
Supporting local communities
The Heathfield Agricultural Show remains an important date in the local calendar. We are pleased to continue supporting the event and helping ensure it runs smoothly on the day.
Lightning Fibre provides 100% full fibre broadband to homes and businesses across East Sussex and surrounding areas.
