Join us for the return of Southwick's annual Music Festival. Two days. One barn. Zero chance of standing still ! Alive at the Barn 2026 is back for a fourth year, with a line-up of legends, loud guitars, sharp words, and pure joy. From ska and punk to poetic chaos and full-on live performance, this is a proper grassroots music festival where the bands are close and the crowd is family. Friday night kicks off from 6.30pm with PHAT Problem, Henry Normal, Dakka Skanks and a huge headline set from theJohn Otway Big Band. Homemade food from 610pm! Saturday goes big from 1.30pm with an all-day run of absolute crackers including Gripper Lee, Noir Mates, Muddy Summers and The Dirty Field Whores, Jess Silk, Scare Taxi, Newtown Neurotics, TV Smith, Mark Thomas, and a storming close from Too Many Crooks. Food served through the day and evening, music rolling non-stop till 11pm.

Sex, lies, and scandal rule the town. Enter Harry Horner: a charismatic playboy who spreads a daring rumour that he's impotent, granting him unprecedented access to society's most "respectable" wives. While husbands drop their guard, Horner drops his... reputation, and chaos follows. Among those caught up in the intrigue is Margery Pinchwife, a wide-eyed country girl newly arrived in the city, whose curiosity and awakening independence threaten to expose everyone's secrets. The Country Wife receives a bold 1980s makeover, complete with big hair, shoulder pads, and a pumping pop soundtrack. Wycherley's razor-sharp satire proves that hypocrisy, desire, and bad behaviour never go out of fashion. Please note: due to adult themes and innuendo, this production is recommended for ages 14+.

Presented by Southwick Players Directed by H Reeves Based on author Ronald Harwoods own experience as Dresser to Sir Donald Wolfitt, this poignant, heart-warming drama tells the story of an ageing actors personal assistant who struggles to keep his charges life together. The play captures the sentiment, the bitchiness and the anecdotal backstage as Norman strives to prepare Sir for his 227th performance of King Lear. Affectionate and comical, this love letter to the theatre is an intelligent glimpse behind the curtain.

Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick. Whats the link? Of course, its Carry On! Cor Blimey! We all know what that means. Sid James carrying on. Kenneth Williams getting outraged. Barbara Windsor giggling. Blackpool naughty postcard humour. But this play deals with the behind the scenes shenanigans of these much loved comedy stars and as well as the comedy, theres some of the gritty reality and drama of less than glamorous showbiz life. In his caravan dressing room, Sid lives up to his lecherous screen persona with Kenneth disapproving of his goings on. But when Sid meets Barbara, the loud-mouthed blonde, he finds someone who gives as good as she gets. This play combines Carry On humour with the touching story of Sid and Barbaras relationship: theres a lot more to this show than Carry On. Contains adult themes. Not suitable for children.

Once again, there will be a great selection of cask and keg beers, as well as a dedicated Cider Bar. And our regular Centre Bar will also be open, for wines, spirits and soft drinks. The annual festival helps to raise funds for Southwick Community Centre. But mainly it's about welcoming people to an event that is very sociable and enormous fun. There are three separate sessions over the Friday and Saturday. So come and enjoy a session or two - or all three !
