SEA-FESTBarrow of Booze:
A key part of the Sandgate Sea and Food Festival each year is the draw to win a “barrow of booze”. That’s an eclectic collection of bottles, cans and more donated from across the village and conveniently served in a wheelbarrow to one lucky ticket buyer! All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the RNLI.
If you have a bottle or two you could donate to fill our barrow this year (unopened bottles only please!) then please drop them to Sandgate Library during opening hours or contact clerk@sandgate-pc.gov.uk to arrange delivery. Thank you!
Fringe events:
We want to work alongside Sandgate businesses to host fringe events over the weekend. If you are a local business and want to discuss a fringe event (which we will promote as part of the overall programme), please contact clerk@sandgate-pc.gov.uk or call 01303 248563 to discuss.
We will update this page regularly so please check in for updates.
If you would like to discuss any of the above, please contact Chani on clerk@sandgate-pc.gov.uk or 01303 248563.
