On Saturday 27th August, we are pleased to host the inaugural Sussex Songwriter’s Festival as part of Summer Trifle. Starting with an Open Mic in the garden marquee during the afternoon, this event was inspired by a very special memorial event held at Pickhams last year, to honour the life of Gary Penalver. Gary himself inspired a great many musicians to get up and perform and was a dedicated fund raiser for Macmillan Cancer Support. For this reason we are asking for donations towards Macmillan for the Open Mic and proceeds from the evening ticketed gig will also go to Macmillan.

Our ticketed evening gig, from 7.30pm on the Saturday, will feature great original songs from The Cheer Up Mollys, Robb Johnson and the Irregulars, Milton Hide and Dandelion Charm.
The event in part of Summer Trifle festival which takes place in the field and gardens of Pickhams in Wilmington near Polegate.
