Visitor Information
Our District has so much to offer: we’re surrounded by the beautiful South Downs National Park, and close to miles of unspoilt coastline and beaches. Our towns and villages are full of history, culture and a spirit of independence. If you are a food and drink lover, a family, an outdoors adventurer or an arts lover, we know you’ll love our district as much as we do.
Go to visitlewes.co.uk for recommendations and what else to do whilst you are visiting Artwave, or visit our Tourist Information Centres in Seaford, Newhaven and Lewes. See artwavefestival.org for full addresses and opening times.
