Welcome to Hurst Festival’s 2025 , two weeks of fabulous programming across Hurstpierpoint and Sayers Common venues.

Please take the time to browse what is on offer, an exciting and varied programme, with great acts & talks, walks & workshops; film, theatre, exhibitions & lots of music. It really is going to be a fabulous Festival with lots of opportunities to take part and be entertained, very much catering for all tastes.

Marking 21 years, we set out to celebrate the young people of Hurstpierpoint & Sayers Common, inviting them to create an image for the brochure cover. 

The winning cover:

Hurst is Full of Stars – Ruby Clemmans

And the two runners:

I love My Village – Nora Startin

Hurst Life – Archie McDougall

All entries will be exhibited during the Festival, we hope you are able to show your appreciation of the talents of all the young artists by visiting the display. (see the website nearer the time for full details of venue & opening hours)

We can’t wait to welcome you all in September, see you soon!
