Brewhaven Sussex Craft Beer Festival returns for its third year at Newhaven Fort this Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of April.

Tickets are selling fast for the popular event that celebrates the diverse selection of craft beers being made locally. In addition to the two sessions on Saturday – afternoon and evening, organisers Newhaven Festival and Visit Lewes have added a Friday night session to encourage festival-goers to make the most of that Friday Feeling.

Seventeen of the area’s best craft breweries will be at the Fort to showcase their products and sell direct to festival-goers, along with treats from top local food producers and a wine and Sussex spirits bar for non-beer drinkers.

Organiser Helen Browning-Smith, Tourism & Arts Manager for Lewes District Council, said: “Brewhaven has proved so popular over the past couple of years, we decided to add a Friday night session for those who want to start the weekend early. We have some outstanding local beers and food for all to enjoy.

“Saturday afternoon offers a family-friendly atmosphere, with the Fort’s playground open and free craft activities to keep younger visitors entertained. The café will be serving soft drinks, ice cream, snacks and sandwiches, while brewers offer their products under the cover of the Second World War Romney Hut. Friday and Saturday evenings will be more of a party vibe for over 18s with live music and DJs.”

There is a free shuttle service to the Fort from Newhaven station, so there’s no need to drive.
