The venue itself, The British Engineerium, provides a historical backdrop for this mix of craft and production. Given the variety of exhibitors, the event covers a broad spectrum of interests, from those focused on local design and handmade goods to people interested in the distilling process and regional food products. It is the kind of event where you can walk through different stalls, see the work of local creators, and engage with the distillers directly.
Since the event is listed on Eventbrite, it is worth checking the platform for booking or ticket requirements before heading over. The fair is designed for an adult audience, though there are no specific age restrictions mentioned. It offers a straightforward way to spend a Saturday exploring what local makers and distillers are currently producing in the Sussex area, without the usual noise of larger, more commercial festivals.
