On The Edge, Facing South
Story | Art | Landscape | Wine
Where the Low Weald meets the sea you find a land of contrasts and contradictions – inspiring marshy levels, broad stretches of shingle and sandy beach, and favourite seaside playgrounds.

Spanning 1066 Country, Coastal Currents is a festival which encourages artists and performers to re-examine the locations around them, to find a new way to use them, and thereby challenge the rest of us to effectively see them for the first time again.
