Acoustic Sussex currently uses two main venues, depending on the nature of the artist, seating requirements, etc. We also occasionally use a small pub in Turners Hill, mainly for open air summer events. All the venues are within a few miles of each other, in the Crawley/East Grinstead/Haywards Heath area. Each is easily accessible via road (eg. from M23 junction 10) or by rail/taxi (stations at Gatwick, Three Bridges, Haywards Heath or East Grinstead). For information on nearby accommodation, go to our Links page.
