IS COMING THIS SEPTEMBER
(Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th to be exact)


ALE AT AMBERLEY is coming back this September, and promises to be bigger and better than ever.

BIGGER because we've added an extra night Thursday 2nd September; yes, we realise not everybody can make it on Fridays.

BIGGER because, with more customers, we can have over 60 real ales giving you more choice. More ciders and perries too.

BETTER because there will be live music (not too obtrusive on a site this big) on Saturday night to add to the atmosphere. Watch this space for more details on the music.

There will of course be other entertainment like Morris dancers, classic buses, vintage vehicles, steam rollers, and, during the day, the bric-a-brac shop and the 'Best of Sussex' (Food & Crafts) Festival.


We have Music
Music on Saturday night.

Music on Saturday evening will be provided by Adrian Harvey and the Stuntmen. Their appearence at the Festival is being sponsored by Young CAMRA.



Volunteer David Rudram enjoys
a pint of something dark at the 2009 festvial.

Be careful if you come to the Craft Festival
Someone might come and draw all over your face!
