Hurst Festival 2018

What is Hurst Festival?

The Hurst Festival extends over a fortnight at the end of September every year, bringing together the amazing local talent within our village and leading international performers who have a connection with Hurstpierpoint, the village we live in and love.

The overarching aims of the Festival are to entertain and offer an opportunity to widen perspectives by offering a diversity of cultural events. We showcase the work of musicians, singers, writers, thinkers, actors, brewers, farmers, artists and a great deal more.

How can I help?

Hurst Festival is much more than a two week series of events. All year round the committee, a team of volunteers, friends and artists work to build our programme of top quality performances. If you would like to support the Hurst Festival, there are several ways to do so:

• Volunteering: Volunteers are the backbone to the festival and we are always in need of help during the Festival - If you are interested in joining our team of Volunteers then please contact info@hurstfestival.org. 
• Friends of the Festival: Please consider supporting us by becoming a Friend. For an annual donation of £20 you will be invited to an exclusive Friends evening for the launch of the Brochure and have acces to priority booking, a must for some of our extremely popular events and your name will go into a draw to win a case of wine from Southdowns Cellars if you join before the end of this year's festival. To join, click Friends.
