About
The Sussex Distillers Festival is a vibrant celebration of Sussex’s thriving independent drinks scene, bringing together the very best local distillers under one roof. From small-batch gins and vodkas to rum, brandy and innovative liqueurs, it’s your chance to meet the makers, hear their stories, and sip your way through the county’s finest spirits.
This year, the festival takes place at the historic British Engineerium as part of the Spring Makers Fair in collaboration with Paper Daisy Events. With free entry, a laid-back atmosphere, and over 10 bars to explore, it’s the perfect day out for drinks lovers and curious newcomers alike.
Expect tastings, cocktails, live demonstrations, and plenty of opportunities to discover your new favourite tipple. Whether you’re a gin enthusiast, cocktail lover, or simply looking for something a little different to do with friends, the Sussex Distillers Festival offers a relaxed, social experience with a strong sense of community.
Come along, grab a drink, and celebrate the spirit of Sussex
