OUR EVENT GALLERY

These are just some of the previous events that SEA have organised...

The Sandgate Sale Safari 2023 (Sunday 2nd July) had 41 stalls but was slightly different to the previous years in that we had more stalls concentrated in the village centre with the High Street full of people with bulging bags. Reports from stall holders on the edges were that less people made the climbs up the hill than previous years. The SEA stall raised £120 for project funds.

Eternal Style (Sunday 8th October) on an exceptionally hot day but thankfully 260+ people braved the heat to replenish their wardrobes with sustainable items from the 12 stalls; be inspired by the Fashion  catwalk show and learn mending or upcycling skills from the demonstrations. There was a pop up tearoom and bar to provide much needed refreshments and The Chichester Memorial Hall was buzzing from start to finish. We received a lot of positive feedback from the event and after costs, £820 was raised to fund future SEA projects.

The event really was a community effort with people donating clothes, cakes, time and of course coming along and buying generously, plus  who knew Sandgate had so many models in its midst.  

A big thank you has to go the working party for the event ‘The Wardrobe Warriors’ without hardworking volunteers these popular community events couldn’t happen.

SEA organised a ‘jog your memory’ walk led by Peter Bamford to support the work done by Rosie Sanders and the Sandgate Society to encourage people to fill out forms so that a much used local path can be officially classified as a footpath
