Oxfest is a new family friendly music and beer festival set in the Sussex countryside amongst the scenic South Downs. Independently run and with a focus on all things local, Oxfest offers an affordable escape from the city with advance tickets from £10 a day and under 18s going free. The range of music on stage (including local favourites DJ Format, Ellie Ford, Dr Bluegrass and Night House) is matched only by the selection of local beer and cider being showcased supporting local performers and brewers. Activities and workshops (from storytelling to yoga) will be running all weekend for kids and families to take part in and a range of locally sourced food will be available. Oxfest 2019 looks set to be a fantastic little festival for the whole community. See their website for more details.
