The Rottingdean Village Fair

The Rottingdean Village Fair is a much loved annual celebration that brings villagers and visitors together for a day of fun and festivities. Held every year on the green beside our famous duck pond, in the heart of our historic little village, this delightful and nostalgic event offers something for everyone in a day packed with fun and merriment.

As you explore the Fair, you'll discover a kaleidoscope of stalls which brim with different treasures. There's handicrafts and artworks, bric-a-brac and vintage, and a variety of delectable treats just waiting to be discovered!

All our most important local organisations are also there too, raising money in various inventive and amusing ways. You can test your skills at whimsical games, or try your luck in the hope of taking home a prize.

You can also eat, drink and be merry at one of our fantastic food and beverage stalls - or just simply sit back and enjoy some of the diverse and vibrant array of entertainments on offer. It’s a truly special day that’s guaranteed to spark joy in the hearts of young and old alike.

But, beyond the laughter and the lively banter, lies a deeper purpose too. The profits of the fair are a vital support for an array of local charities and good causes. Each year, the beneficiaries change, but our commitment to nurturing the community remains steadfast.

We look forward to welcoming you in 2025 for our special centenary celebrations on 2nd August 2025 from 10AM until 4PM. Why not put it in your diary now - so you'll be sure not to miss it!

Next year is the centenary of the Rottingdean Village Fair (as a charitable event) and we plan on celebrating it with a really special event. Exciting plans are afoot - so watch this space for further updates on some of the things we have in store!
