The Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival
Back with its first outing of 2016 this Easter weekend, the Big Sussex Market hits New Road in front of the Theatre Royal on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, 25-26 March, featuring around 40 local producers, street foods and restaurateurs showcasing great food and drink.
Easter Monday sees the welcome return of the Rockinghorse Children’s Easter Egg hunt in Royal Pavilion Gardens from 11am – 2pm. Little ones will complete fun challenges and win handfuls of tasty chocolate eggs, whilst raising money for the Royal Alexander Children’s Hospital.
The Easter weekend also sees the launch of this year’s Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Awards. Get your votes in!
The food festival’s Spring Harvest is just around the corner too with 12 days of delicious food and drink events happening across the city and surrounding county from 19-30 May.
