It is a feast of the arts, run entirely by volunteers, yet attracting big name and quirky acts in a wide range of genres. Music, dance, beer, sculpture, comedy, graphic arts, theatre, story-telling and poetry for all ages all feature regularly. Its annual panto is an institution – and a hoot! The tiny rural village of Chiddingly is in East Sussex, between Lewes and Hailsham, North of Eastbourne. L
ike many small rural villages, life revolves around the Church, the Village Hall and the pub. We used to have a shop and Post Office - those were the days! Map
All tastes are catered for - music, art, dance, puppetry, theatre, poetry and storytelling. This is a quite amazing festival for such a small village, the festival is an event that makes Chiddingly unique. And as always, the festival starts with a full peal of bells from the tower of Chiddingly Village Church.
