"Brewhaven is great for people of all ages, just pick whether the afternoon or evening session suits you and come along to support our unique local breweries.”

There will be a wine and Sussex spirits bar for non-beer drinkers and the best local food producers will be on hand to provide appetising fare for festival-goers.

Now in its second year, Brewhaven has been extended to three sessions - Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, and for the first time, Sunday afternoon.

The café will be serving soft drinks, ice cream, snacks and sandwiches, while brewers offer their products under the cover of a Second World War Romney Hut.
