The Old Shoreham Heritage Festival will launch the 50th anniversary of Old Shoreham Conservation Area with a new heritage trail,and other events, focusing attention on the conservation of this vulnerable green gap in the southern coastal strip.

The modern coastal town of Shoreham-by-Sea has its origins in Old Shoreham, a village, rural parish and ancient crossing point of the Adur Estuary. For more than two millenia Old Shoreham has been a place of settlement and a crossroads connecting the Weald and central Sussex to the sea and the old roads of the South Coast. The village itself was thriving several hundred years before it was recorded in the Domesday Book.
Everyone who crosses the River Adur on the modern A27 passes through the middle of the Parish.

Our Heritage Festival will provide opportunities for passers-by and locals alike to gain fresh perspectives on Shoreham’s ‘roots’, networks and connections, with an exhibition of new and original artworks, live music, walks. talks and workshops.
The new heritage trail will be available as guided walks and a self guided tour. See separate entries for details.
