South Downs Summer Music is an annual celebration of music and community in Alfriston, in the heart of the South Downs. Over more than 15 years it has become a hugely popular festival that draws some of the finest international classical and contemporary music talent to this beautiful village.
Although our ticket sales have grown steadily over the years, that income alone is not sufficient to maintain the high standard the festival had become known for, and we do depend on the generosity of our supporters to keep going.
