We were delighted to receive this feedback from a visitor this week, here's what they said:

"My 7 year old grandson got to try the desk magnifier today and he absolutely loved it!

He only has monocular vision, so standard binoculars are a little bit tricky for him to use, whereas this brought the reserve to life in full colour and clarity! Such an absolutely Incredible piece of kit! A real game changer! Thank you."

East Sussex Vision Support kindly donated this fantastic piece of equipment to allow those who experience sight loss to enjoy Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. It's available free of charge for anyone who would find it helpful. Email the office to book: [email protected] or call 01797 360 960.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
The judges read 57 submissions from an extraordinary range of genres and styles, sent from local writers and playwrights across the world. The standard was exceptionally high, making the final decisions very difficult.
What makes the outcome even more special is that the judging was completely anonymous — the panel had no idea who the writers were — yet four of the six winning plays come from talented local authors from in and around Rye.
We are also thrilled to welcome two winning playwrights from the United States, reflecting the wonderfully international spirit of this competition. Please share this and follow us here for news of the auditions. 🎭
