And it’s not just colour-theming which is new this year. Among the fresh initiatives introduced by the new festival committee are:

l an information centre set up in a gazebo outside the village hall from 10am to 2pm each day, answering enquiries about festival events;

l a grand draw with fabulous prizes including a £200 cash first prize, a spa day at Bailiffscourt, a family ticket to a Brighton and Hove Albion match and bed and breakfast for  two at the Angmering Manor Hotel.

Keep a look-out, too, for the scarecrow competition, and in similar vein, the popular open gardens will this year feature 15 beautiful venues to visit, alongside an art trail.

Tickets for all festival events will once again be on sale at the box offices at Sea View Stores and Hedgers News Agency, both in Sea Lane.
