All about the fair...

Our mission

The Rottingdean Village Fair is a tapestry woven with threads of quirkiness and eccentricity, a true reflection of the village's unique spirit. But, beyond the laughter and the lively banter, lies a deeper purpose.

Every chuckle shared, every penny spent, fuels the vital support for an array of local charities and good causes. Each year, the beneficiaries may change, but the fair's commitment to nurturing the community remains steadfast.

Join us in the revelry, and be a part of something more than a fair - be a part of a legacy that champions the heart of Rottingdean.

Our most recent beneficiaries

The Rottingdean Village Fair was delighted to be able to make grants to four different organsations this year.

Our Lady of Lourdes School was able to purchase two balance bikes and St Margaret’s School bought some much-needed sensory equipment for their new nurture and sensory space.

Other grants were made towards a youth outreach initiative for PARC and the memorial restoration fund for the Royal British Legion.

Our team

A surprising amount of time and effort goes into organising and funding the Rottingdean Village Fair every year. Fortunately though, we have a very talented and dedicated committee of local volunteers who meet regularly throughout the year and do exactly that - and we like to share a few laughs along the way too!

However, we're always looking for new skills and expertise too! So if you think you've got something to contribute and you have the time to spare, we urge you to consider joining our friendly little team!

Please do drop us a note as we'd love to meet you in person and tell you more about us and what the job entails.

P.S. We're not a group of grumpy old ducks - as our images might suggest!

COME AND MEET US!
