Sussex Song & Ale - 1-3 July 2011
A weekend of music and song deep in the Sussex countryside hosted by The Travelling Folk.
The village hall in Upper Dicker has its own level and easily accessible campsite suitable for tents, caravans and motor-homes. The Hall has excellent facilities for campers to use including a large, fully-equipped kitchen, toilets and showers. Tea and coffee is provided in the kitchen. A bar selling award-winning Harveys beer, lager cider, wine, spirits and soft drinks is open when the sessions are on.
Organised sessions are held in the Village Hall on Friday evening, Saturday lunchtime and evening and Sunday lunchtime where everyone will have an opportunity to sing, play or recite. There is also an informal tune session on Saturday afternoon, usually held outside. Whether you are a singer, musician, storyteller or would just like to relax and let others entertain you, there is something for you.
As always there will be guided walks around the local countryside on Saturday morning. Following The Travelling Folk tradition we would like everybody to join us for a get-together meal on Saturday evening at 6pm. Bring your own food, tables, chairs etc to join the fun. Outside even if damp: inside if raining! The bar will be open for drinks.
Any profits from the festival and the bar are donated to charity. There is a charity fundraising raffle for which all donations of prizes are welcomed. This year the charities (to be supported equally) are the Kent and Sussex Air Ambulances. First prize will be two tickets for next year's Song & Ale.
A weekend ticket cost £15 per person including a pitch for caravan, motor-home or or tent. Children under sixteen are free providing they share their accompanying adult's accommodation. Dogs are permitted on the campsite, if kept on a lead, but not in the Hall.
