Summer fun as Play Days on Tour and Skatefests return

The hugely popular Mid Sussex Play Days are going on tour for 2021, bringing FREE fun and entertainment to villages and towns across the district.

“The long-awaited summer has arrived, but we are returning cautiously and with some adjustment to our popular summer events programme,” said Councillor Norman Webster, Cabinet Member for Community. “We have arranged some smaller events in communities and our Skatefest events will also make a welcome return. It will be great to see everyone enjoying themselves in a safe and responsible way.”
