SUSSEX WINS £700K FUNDING

We’re thrilled to announce that in a landmark moment for Sussex, Lewes district is to receive £719,100 in funding from the UK Community Renewal Fund, bringing the total amount of funding for the county secured by business-lead consortium Sussex Modern to over one million pounds.

The project will be delivered in Lewes district with a focus on growing quality and sustainable tourism infrastructure around Newhaven and Gatwick as visitor gateways into Sussex and Global Britain.

The successful bid was put together by Sussex Modern in partnership with South Downs National Park Authority, Plumpton College and Lewes District Council.

While Sussex is fast becoming the centre of England’s thriving wine scene, it is also home to an abundance of cultural attractions. Sussex Modern links 39 memorable destinations and experiences across Sussex and is the essential cultural directory of art, landscape, and wine for the region. The collective boasts a wealth of contemporary cultural partners who are proud to be a part of the initiative, from De La Warr Pavilion, Glyndebourne and Towner Eastbourne, the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2020 in arts to Tillingham, Ashling Park and Rathfinny in wines, many set amongst the breathtaking landscapes of the South Downs National Park. South Downs National Park is the official Sussex Modern landscape partner, opening the door to destinations including Firle Beacon, Cissbury Ring, Devils Dyke, and Pevensey Bay.
