  • Visitor Information
Beachdown Festival 2009This four-day boutique festival party at Devil's Dyke near Brighton boasts a stellar line up and a superb location, making it the ideal option for an August bank holiday trip away from London. Headlining is none other than the imposing queen of the flat-top Grace Jones, with support coming from indie rockers The Zutons, Welsh alternative oddballs Super Furry Animals, Gallic turn table legend Laurent Garnier and Mancunian post-punkers The Fall. With a whole cluster of famous DJs (Gilles Peterson, anyone?), local acts and guest residencies (Favela Chic, par exemple), combined with 42 hours of alternative film and comedy entertainment (including a top family friendly zone), all played out at a bracing location of rolling hills (which won't flood) overlooking the sea, and washed down with the best organic food and drink on offer, Beachdown really does catter for everyone. Shuttle busses also run all day back and forth from Brighton, making this a festival that's very easy to dip in and out of if you don't fancy camping for the full four days. For more information go to www.beachdownfestival.com.
 

About Devil's Dyke

Devil's Dyke is a V-shaped valley on the South Downs Way near Brighton. It makes for a delightful day trip if you're on the south coast in Sussex and an open-top bus rolls to and from Brighton during the summer. There are some lovely walks which afford some staggering views over the Downs and the coastline - as far as the Isle of Wight on clear days. More about Devil's Dyke
