Where can I buy tickets?

Tickets are available here!

I can’t make it!  Can I still contribute?

Sorry to hear you can’t make it! You can still donate by booking as many £5 “Donation” tickets as you like from the event page. Or, donate direct at Voices in Exile.

Why West Blatchington Windmill?

Our mission has always been to put gigs on in unusual, beautiful spaces.  Our last event at Pharmacie Coffee Roasters in 2017 was a great success and we loved the venue. This time around we decided to head somewhere new and even further off the beaten track.

West Blatchington Mill is a grade II* listed smock mill from the 1820s. The restored barn at the mill is a gorgeous, well proportioned acoustic space, crying out to be filled with live music and song.

It’s not the easiest venue to get to, we appreciate that and we’re working hard to ensure that your efforts will be thoroughly rewarded.

Can I bring the kids?

Yes, absolutely!  The event is 100% inclusive, so bring your nippers & your grannies, come one, come all. Half price concession tickets are now available for pensioners, 16 and under and unwaged.

Is there a bar?

Of course!  We’re delighted to have teamed up with local wine and beer experts Quaff to help soothe your thirsty palates with a selection of lagers, ales, wines.  We also have a delicious range of soft drinks from the awesome Down To Earth. We might even be persuaded to make you a cup of tea!

Can I pay on the door?

Possibly.  The venue has a limited capacity and while we hope to be able to accommodate everyone, we strongly advise booking in advance to avoid disappointment. But don’t worry, if you can’t book online for whatever reason, please get in touch with thirstyfox@graphicdivine.co.uk to reserve a door ticket.

Can I pay by card?

Yes! We’ll be accepting card and cash donations on the door and at the bar.

Where’s my money going?

All the proceeds, from both tickets and bar sales are going direct to Voices in Exile. Voices in Exile works with refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants with no recourse to public funds in East and West Sussex and Surrey.

All our performers and volunteers are donating their time and considerable talents and we really can’t thank them enough.

By buying a ticket you too can help make a real difference to some of the most vulnerable, disenfranchised members of our local community.
