The idea for the event came from town crier idea Jason Eid. The day will celebrate the best of Newhaven and it’s Sussex community.

It is worth noting that parking in the area is currently restricted due to the redevelopment of Dacre Road car park, however bus stops and Newhaven Train station are walking distance from the event.

Also in Newhaven will be the annual Denton Community Challenge on June 10, Fish Festival on June 24 and the RNLI Summer Fayre on July 1.
