Festival goers can expect exclusive Q&A’s, delicious live demos and book signings as he pops up throughout the festival of the weekend. Andy Clarke will be bringing the vibes to the main stage and if open flame cooking is your thing, king of fire Adam Purnell aka Shropshire Lad will be showing you how it’s done on the Firepit Stage.

It wouldn’t be Pub in the Park without knock-out food and we have you covered with the first wave of pubs and restaurants set to tantalise your tastebuds.

Incredible Brighton-based restaurants never before seen at Pub in the Park will be bringing bold new flavours to experience including local legend Kenny Tutt with Pitch and Indian street food bursting with taste from Brighton’s very own The Chilli Pickle. If that wasn’t enough, ultimate pub grub from Tom Kerridge’s two Michelin-starred The Hand and Flowers is not to be missed, alongside mouth-watering authentic Spanish flavours from the stand-out Tapas Brindisa and The Kentish Hare from The Tanner Brothers, which is ranked fifth in the country by the prestigious Top 50 Gastropub Awards.

Brighton residents can also experience incredible live music from some of the best in music.

Get ready to dance ‘round round’ as ultimate British girl group the Sugababes will be headlining Friday night at the festival, supported by Soul II Soul and Judge Jules! For Saturday afternoon, look no further than West London funk group The Brand New Heavies as they take to the Pub in the Park stage, supported by Toploader and Norman Jay. Saturday night sees iconic Happy Mondays ‘Step On’ stage, supported by Stereo MCs and Example. Now that’s a party! And for Lazy Sunday, none other than 90s English rock band Dodgy and legendary Craig Charles Funk & Soul Club will be getting everyone up and dancing, alongside singer song writing superstar Gabrielle who will be closing the fun-filled festival.
