• North Sussex 2025 Ale & Cider Trail Saturday 1 March – Friday 6 June 2025

  
  After the success of our Anniversary Ale trail last year, we are launching a bigger and better Trail for 2025, running from March 1st to June 6th.
  
  The list of 34 venues has now been finalised and are listed on the poster shown here.
  
  The Trail will be launched on Saturday March 1st at the Engine Room in East Grinstead from 1pm, and will finish with a prize draw to select the winning Trailers at 7pm on Friday June 6th at the Kings Arms in Horsham.
  
  Ale Trailers will need to pick up the Trail Leaflet, which will detail all the Ale & Cider Trail venues to visit and collect a sticker at each. Leaflets will be available at each venue and also at our Spring Equinox beer festival on March 21st and 22nd where you will be able to collect the Festival sticker.
  
  To receive a sticker, you need to spend money at each venue. We’d love it if that was a pint of the great local Ale or Cider available there, but we appreciate that might not always be practical.
  
  A list of participating pubs is available HERE
  
  There will be six prize winners this year, who will receive a voucher to spend in the Ale & Cider Trail venue of their choice. Top prize is a voucher for £60, for those who have collected 28 or more of the stickers. Two second prizes of a voucher for £40, for those who have collected 22 or more of the stickers. Three third prizes of a voucher for £20, for those who have collected 17 or more of the stickers. Each Ale Trailer can win no more than one prize.
