Rottingdean Village Fair:

Rottingdean Heritage was delighted to once again be part of the annual Rottingdean Village Fair!

As always, the fair was a fantastic day and a wonderful celebration of our village and community. A huge well done and thank you to the Village Fair team for all their hard work in putting together such a brilliant event.

At the Rottingdean Heritage stall, we were also excited to introduce our new Heritage Membership, helping people support the preservation and celebration of Rottingdean’s unique heritage. More information on how to join can be found here.
