Culture by the Coast

Explore the varied and dramatic Sussex coastline, where artists, makers, and creators have long been drawn by the light and the landscapes, forging creative communities along the shore.
Things are looking up on the downs as stargazers across Sussex turn their eyes to the heavens for February’s Dark Skies Festival.

Back down on terra firma, the local wildlife gets a look in as well as we find out which animals come out to play in the dark.
