insideSUSSEX Magazine Issue 03 - May 2015 | Page 4

welcome Another month has flown by, winter is well and truly gone, and I’m beside myself with excitement, anticipating the events happening this spring and summer in Sussex. come alive with Brighton Festival, Brighton Fringe, Artists Open House Festival and many more arts and culture events. How about a sunny day visit to some local art galleries? Have a look at page 28 for our roundup of the county’s best. You can also read about turning art into business (p89), and learn how to create art from your food (without worrying about what your mum would say, p52). If one thing’s for sure, Sussex loves art! I know it’s only May, but it’s never too early to book your summer weekend plans, is it? Start by taking a look at our music festivals feature on page 42, featuring some of the best let-your-hair-down rain-or-shine extravaganzas in the country. You could even win tickets to Elderflower Fields Music Festival, along with a luxurious session in Bathing Under the Sky’s Hot Tub Bus (p44). If music and hot tubbing aren’t your idea of fun, how about food (I think food is everyone’s thing)? This spring saw the launch of the Brighton and Hove Food & Drink Festival, boasting an array of mouth-watering events throughout the summer months. Make sure you keep your eye out next month for our annual Food Issue, full of what else but food, food and more food! So this May, go out and enjoy everything that Sussex has to offer – some of the best music, arts, festivals, food and community spirit in the country, if not the world.
