Octoberfeast Lewes
We've been in meetings with the lovely Octoberfeast team in Lewes to set up some events for the Ale and Hearty project as part of this year's Octoberfeast.
The festival of food and drink this year takes place from Saturday 28th September to Monday 7th October. The festival centres around markets, films, talks and activities all celebrating Sussex based food and drink.
The brochure won't go to press till this summer, but we plan to host a photographic exhibition and talk as part of this week of local events along with some other surprises!
The events that the Ale and Hearty project will be hosting will be free and open to all, so there's lots to get enthusiastic about! |
Free Fabrica gallery events
Strike a Light will be hosting two free events at Fabrica gallery this year on Thursday 13th June, and Thursday 12th September. Both dates from 1-4pm. Past events can be found here.
Following on from each event at 6.30pm, will be a film showing at the gallery linking with each event's theme. This film will cost a bargain £1 and will include refreshments.
The September event will be part of the free national Heritage Open Days programme.
All welcome!

Ale and Hearty Project Launch
Strike a Light hosted a free Ale and Hearty Project Launch on Friday 8th March at The Linklater Pavilion in Lewes, East Sussex.
This was a hugely enjoyable, well attended event with an exhibition, speeches from the Mayor Elect of Lewes, and Miles Jenner the Chief Executive of Harveys Brewery along with songs from local group Emily and the Hares, free ale, local Sussex cheeses, and a fundraising raffle which gathered £188 towards an education pack for local Lewes Primary Schools.
Thanks to all who donated raffle prizes and ale for our event!
