We had such great feedback from last year's murder mystery, and so many people who missed it said they wished they'd come along, we decided we'd do it all again this year! Held once again in the beautiful garden at the King's Head, Rotherfield, this year's show is set in a seedy 1960s holiday camp. Encounter, up close and personal, a pair of warring grannies, a down-at-heel comedian, a couple of entertainment hopefuls and a curmudgeonly caretaker at Bertie Bantam's Holiday Camp. A glass of fizz when you arrive, a delicious barbecue and a choc ice (okay, a Magnum - can you even buy choc ices these days?) are all included in your ticket price. But hurry - spaces are limited and over half the tickets have gone already!

Our celebration of our county, 'A Sussex Salmagundi', played to a packed house on 15th June. Check out some of the action here!

We're really excited to welcome guitarist Ellie Kotzia back to the Green Lane Music Room on Saturday 13th April at 7.30.  Ellie will appear with pianist Wilfred Murray to play a great programme of baroque music for guitar and harpsichord (or in this case piano). Music by Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Rodrigo and Boccherini will amuse and delight us.

Please book now if you’d like seats - we have only a few left! CA Members, £12, others £15, full time students with paying adult, £5.

It's not too late to reserve your seats to hear the fascinating Peter Medhurst talk about the relationship between paintings and the music of the time in which they were painted. Seats are limited though, so book today!

This is a question we expect to hear repeatedly over the next few months! Originating as a dish of chopped meat, anchovies, eggs, onions and seasoning, the term has passed into common usage (well commonish, anyway) to mean a general mixture or miscellaneous collection. In any case, it's a great word, and - guess what - is alliterative with the name of our county, hence the title for our event on 15th June: "A Sussex Salmagundi". We've put together a brilliant cast including not only regular Crowborough Arts performers, but also some truly exceptional guests - and some big surprises! Our Salmagundi will include music, poetry, the retelling of local legends, the dramatisation of work by famous local authors, and much, much more. Reserve your tickets now, and tell all your friends and family: this is going to be an evening to remember!
