The Almonry and Battle Town were awarded Gold in the South & South East in Bloom Competition 2023. The Judge wrote:
Battle is a delightful town with a strong sense of community. Community involvement is key to Battle's entry, without the support of volunteers and co-operation of various groups, Battle Town Council could not achieve as much as it does. 
The Almonry is a delightful garden in the centre of Battle and, what was evident in the garden, was the dedication of the team of volunteers and they should be commended for their hard work and dedication.
