Glastonwick is Adur’s annual Beer, Music, Poetry and More Beer Festival.
It has successfully been going for 23 years and takes place a few miles away from Brighton & Hove to the north of Shoreham-by-sea at Church Farm, Coombes, West Sussex BN15 0RS.
There are three days of entertainment from 21 bands on Friday 1st June – Sunday 3rd June 2018, with musicians and poets as well as an impressive 80+ cask-conditioned beers, cider, perry and food.
With all that going on you may wish to opt to camp on the site for the duration of the event or at least some of it anyway.
