Brewhaven Sussex Craft Beer Festival is returning for a third year on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 April.

Craft beers from 16 local creators will be available, along with wine, spirits and food. Friday and Saturday evening sessions will be 18+ with live music and DJs, while Saturday afternoon will be laid back and family friendly.

Councillor James MacCleary, Leader of Lewes District Council and Newhaven Councillor, said: “The festival was a huge hit in 2022 and this year’s Brewhaven promises to be even better with more outstanding local beers and food to enjoy in the iconic setting of Newhaven Fort. “It’s a great outing for people of all ages with a family-friendly vibe for the afternoon session and more of a party feel for over 18s in the evening including fantastic live music.

“Coming along is the perfect way to sample and support our wonderful array of local brewers, and with lots of tickets already snapped up, book quickly to secure your festival place!”

Tickets are available online now.
