What's on in Sussex?

Wondering which events are coming up in Sussex? The short answer – lots! This is a non-stop hub of activity, with everything from iconic events to quirkier days out. There are walks and talks, Pride and rides, wine tasting tours, large-scale sporting events and fringe festivals. And that’s just the start of it…

Fun for the family

Whether you’re coming for the school holidays or a long weekend, you’ll find a whole host of family-friendly events here. Take the kids to the theatre or enjoy a day in the great outdoors. And look out for season-specific activities such as Easter-egg hunts, Christmas markets or a trip to Santa’s grotto.

That’s entertainment

From big-name headliners to the next big thing, Sussex has a buzzing music scene, with a packed calendar of gigs and iconic festivals. The same goes for comedy, too. You can’t beat an evening of stand-up or drag bingo in a lively Sussex pub. Or how about soaking up some culture with an open-air play or seeing a rarely-reviewed exhibition?

Get active... or just watch

Football fan? Sussex is home to the mighty Brighton & Hove Albion. Why not see if you can catch a game during your trip? Any runners will love the chance of jogging along the seafront, with events all-year round. And the cyclists out there won’t want to miss out on riding through the stunning countryside.
