Become a friend!

We hope you will be able to join us this year for the Rottingdean Village Fair - a beloved annual tradition which brings so much joy and camaraderie to our village.

However, as the costs of organising the fair continue to rise, we are faced with the ongoing challenge of ensuring its sustainability for future generations to enjoy - which is why we decided last year to reach out to our community for support.

In addition to our usual commercial sponsorship packages, we introduced an entirely new opportunity for individuals to play a pivotal role in the fair's success - aptly entitled the 'Friends of the Fair'.

‘The Friends of the Fair’ is a group comprised of passionate villagers and other generous supporters dedicated to preserving and enhancing the Rottingdean Village Fair. Our first year of operation was a tremendous success and enabled us to significantly improve the offering on the day.

We are so grateful to all those founding members whose generosity and and trust helped deliver that success.

We are reaching out again this year to help with the additional expense of the special centenary celebrations - and we are hoping to extend our membership still further.

By becoming a valued ‘Friend’ for just £25 a year, you can make a direct impact on the future of this cherished event - and we are also offering a Joint Membership at the reduced price of £40. We've made it a much easier process to join by adding an online payment system to the site.

We're also providing a few more benefits too, all of which are described in the membership options below.

Your generous support will be recognised in the event programme, and as a token of our appreciation, you will also receive a fabulous centenary mug and a complimentary glass of Pimm’s, Prosecco or wine on the day.

Your contribution will not only help cover our expenses but will also ensure that the Rottingdean Village Fair continues to thrive as a beacon of community spirit and giving. Together, let us uphold this tradition, create lasting memories, and strengthen the bonds that unite us all.

Online membership opens in the New Year!

If you'd like to become a 'Friend of the Fair' then please revisit this page in January 2025 when our brand new online store will be providing easy joining and payment facilities.

In the meantime, thank you for your patience!
