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’s walks and talks, Pride and rides, 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.
